Kevin, J.J. Jr. ain't smart enough to debate you my friend. I've seen you work-I've seen him work. He's dumb as a box of rocks. If ever I've seen anybody riding his daddy's coattails ,(such as they are) it's him.

I paid $35 to go see Larry Gatlin and his brothers last night sing Christmas songs at the historic Ryman Auditorium here in Nashville.
Ida paid for a ticket to have seen that debate too!LOL

TBM, I love it when I see you on shows such as this,
it gives me a chance to point out to my wife some of the fine people here on FR.
She always rags on me about being on FR. Last time you were on FNC, I told
her I had exchanged a few notes with you. She was quite impressed.
Keep up the good fight. You always make me proud to know that you are a Freeping Great person.
Liked the picture of the right cross to Lanny's face,
to bad it wasn't full force it would have made a nice improvement.(ha ha ha)

You should have said that it wasn't the one they were calling a racist Majority Leader of the Senate that was 4th in line, but the racist Democrat that they are protecting that is currently 4th in line for the Presidency.

Correct!

From the Law on Succession to the Presidency:

"If by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify there is neither a president nor vice-president to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as speaker and as representative, act as president.

"If at the time when a speaker is to begin the discharge of the powers and duties of the office of president there is no speaker, or the speaker fails to qualify as acting president, then the president pro tempore of the Senate, upon his resignation as president pro tempore and as senator, shall act as president."

So clearly, it is the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, not the Majority Leader (although they could be the same person), who is fourth in line of succession. You might ask yourself how a Speaker of the House may not "qualify." To be President you need to be at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and a resident within the United States for 14 years (Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution). These criteria are more stringent than those for a member of Congress.
