If the senate vote is 50/50, would it be legitimate if she cast the deciding vote to give herself a job for life?
Unfortunately, Romney and Graham will likely for for her thus removing that conflict.
There is no contravening law addressing potential self-sealing or conflicts of interest in such a situation AFAIK. The VP has the power pursuant to the Constitution, and that’s that.
At least 10 Democratic Senators would call ‘foul’ on Harris as a nominee and refuse to vote. I will admit that Biden is stupid enough to suggest this, but the folks managing him aren’t going to agree to this idea.
The RINO’s won’t be able to virtue signal fast enough.
