    Also had the double dip for about three months several years ago. It was nice, aside from the job stress. Thankfully it all worked out.

    Well, the founders wanted the amendment process to be Difficult But Not Impossible. They didn't want it to be easy or the constitution would be constantly flopping back and forth like a fish, plus frequent constitutional amendments would exacerbate regional factionalism (or party factionalism).
    But they didn't want it to be impossible, as you noted, they wanted the constitution to be able adapt to the times.
    They didn't anticipate mass propaganda and polarization leading to a situation in which 1/3 of thr nation denies the literal truth of facts accepted by the other 2/3.

    Really? I don't see that at all. Why, if not Biden, other than protocol, must it be Kamala Harris? What has she done to bring results, or to impress, at all? She's been a token black-woman Vice President -- nothing more.

    Supplanting what could be the first Black woman POTUS = Trump 2 or DeSantis or whoever.

    Biden picked her. He's the only person she has to please and apparently she has done so. Presidents don't like to admit mistakes and dropping your veep is admitting to a real beaut. The last Vice President to be dropped from the ticket was Henry Wallace in 1944.

    I think it is more like 1/3rd denies the truth that the other 1/3rd accepts as fact while the other 1/3rd screws off on their phone watching TikTok videos not paying attention.
