So the supreme court already ruled the president cannot be held accountable for anyone they kill.
The vice president becomes the president instantly if the president dies.
What is preventing any vice president from waiting until day 1 of their parties presidency, and then murdering the president? And then instantly pardoning themself?
Yeah. Considering how Trump may have actually intended to have Pence killed during the January 6 insurrection, my money is on “not particularly loyal”.
I like to think there’s still hope that people around Trump and Putin will recognize the clear signs of dementia and not drag the world to war, this time.
