You are a real sweetie, and a smart girl, and although I don't get involved in every conversation, I read your words and get something out of them every time.  |
Awe, thanks.
I try to keep that in mind when things get tough.

Funny that you mention this, my family got into quite an argument about this. Yes, the speaker of the house would take over. However, it is only temporary. As soon as we are able to hold another election, she's out. Also, if she had to take over, she would have to relinquish her position as speaker of the house. So, after a new election could take place she would not be able to go back to being speaker of the house. She would be treated as a former president though and she would get the security that is equal to what Bush/Clinton/etc. get.
