I hope Cheney will not step down, not at this juncture, anyway.

Of course not. They can use TPA to quickly dissolve the clot, and he can stay on anticoagulant medicine. He's actually lucky that his clot wasn't serious. Many are killed by blood clots. Vice President Cheney should be just fine.

Condi would make a good VP and the Senate would easily confirm her.

No, a new VEEP has to be passed on by Congress. But you're right about Pelosi NOT being the VEEP, is Cheney has to step down, which he most probably won't be.

BW appoints, senate confirms, Brian Wilson? This is one strange post.

Is it in the Consitution that the senate must confirm? I don't get that really, the President gets to pick who runs with him without 'approval' why would a appointment for vacany in the VP slot be any different???
To: Jewels1091
25th Amendment. Think about it. The Senate has to approve all of the president's treaties. The Senate confirms his cabinet appointments. And both houses confirm a VP replacement.

Sadly, far too few posters here, now, know even the most basic thing about politics or government and it keeps getting worse.
Like you, I too am fed up with the sudden plethora of really ignorant posts.

Bolton.
Fred Thompson.
Laura Bush.
Speculating can be fun sometimes.

I had thought a VP appointment only needed Senate approval. I was too young to pay attention when Richard Nixon appointed Gerald Ford. Thanks for the info. It still won't matter, though - the democrats would kill any nomination that Bush made. Their hatred for him and their lust for power is so overwhelming that they would gladly leave the VP slot vacant for almost two years in a time of war in order to deny George Bush any kind of victory.

Blood clots wear Dick Cheney jammies.
To: uscabjd; thiscouldbemoreconfusing
BW appoints, senate confirms, as new VP, a la Gerald Ford, among others. Now the dems could refuse to confirm W's choice, which could lead to some interesting issues.The article is nonsense, of course, but since we're playing the speculation game, if Cheney should decide to resign, he should pull a Sandra Day O'Connor stunt and make his resignation effective only upon the confirmation of his successor. Now THAT would be "interesting". /grin
