Is there? I thought it was appointment/confirmation. Only succession when neither VP nor Pres are available...

I of course could be wrong, Google isn't helping.

Edit: yah, it is appointment.

I'd guess the new VP would be a minority, so Bush can claim credit for appointing the first black, latino, chinese, or Swahili vice president.

there is no line of succession for the VP job. the president would nominate someone, and it would have to pass confirmation in both houses of congress.

Changes with the 25th Amendment
Since the adoption of the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1967, "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress." (Prior to that time, if the Vice President died in office, resign, or succeeded to the Presidency, the office of Vice President remained vacant until the next Presidential election.)

Dunno...but it would be a good spot for someone to run for President from in 2008. McCain maybe?

It will be Giuliani. That's the talk amongst Washington, at least in the DHS circles.

Ghouliani isn't ready to be president. He's just a lowly old former mayor who couldn't bring himself to even run for the senate. I'd rather have Arnold as president

Arnold can't be President.

Giuliani was whoring it up during the campaign. He was being groomed to be named Cheney's replacement.

I think Swahili is a language, not a people.

I hope the Vice President recovers from whatever his health problem is. He has over four years of duty ahead and I hope he makes it till then and beyond. I disagree with his politics and hope he remedies that as well...

Terrorists are in the eye of the beholder.

Ask an Iraqi who the terrorists are and they'll tell you they are us.

I'm not excusing terrorism on any front, but please realize that what we are doing in Iraq can easily be seen as terrorism in the eyes of a nation that has had 100,000 or more innocents slaughtered in an unprovoked invasion.

Another example, what of the Chechens who attacked and murdered school children in Beslan, Russia? The Bush administration calls the Chechens 'rebels'. To the Russian families who lost so many of their children and to the Russian nation they are terrorists.

So yes, I think terrorists should be annihilated. Where do we start?
