No confirmation. Just rumors.

But sometimes, where there's smoke, and all...



Cokie Roberts said Monday on NPR that there were whispers by Democratic Party establishment members that Hillary Clinton may have to step aside from the race because of her health, Mediaite reports (http://www.mediaite.com/online/cokie-roberts-floats-that-dems-are-nervously-whispering-about-clinton-stepping-aside/).

If it's more than pneumonia, which vomiting in your glass and then drinking it points to, then this could be a serious rumor. More than one site is talking about it and the word is the DNC is meeting to discuss.

No, though VP candidate Eagleton did drop out after nomination as candidate.

For the Reps: "The party’s Rule 9 states that the party has the power “to fill any and all vacancies which may occur by reason of death, declination, or otherwise.”"

For the Dems: "the process is very similar. The party’s committee – which is approximately twice as large as the Republican body – has the authority to select a presidential nominee, according to Article Two of the party rules. The main difference for Democrats is that their committee is already apportioned by the size of each state — for instance, California has more committee members than any other state. So when the committee votes, each member’s ballot counts equally."

All I could find on this.

No presidential candidate of a major party has ever died or withdrawn before a presidential election and no President-elect has ever died or withdrawn after winning the general election, but before taking office.However, one vice-presidential candidate died after he was nominated, but before the general election, and another dropped off his party's ticket.The procedures for finding replacements for candidate vacancies are guided by federal and state laws and party regulations. They are not exactly a patchwork, but they have evolved in response to practical problems that have arisen during the presidential elections, and in response to the growth of political parties as integral players in the election process.In this respect, the procedures for filling vacancies in the parties' nominated tickets are like those that have evolved for the succession of the presidency when the person holding that office vacates it for one reason or another: When William Henry Harrison contracted pneumonia after giving a three-hour-long speech in the snow at his 1841 inauguration and died barely a month later, he was succeeded in office by John Tyler. It was not until confronting the issues raised in the transition of power from Harrison to Tyler that Congress thought through the rules for the succession of the President when the office is vacated during mid-term.

She of course would be the first women, if she chose to identify as a women. :)

I think that she would be the first Jewish President that we have ever had.

She would be the youngest as she would be 35 for the entire 8 years of her term.

And would likely do a better job than anyone in the race. Vote For Chloe 2016
