<DIV>My point is, until they either DO resign to become president, or pass, the
office does not fall to anyone else. So talking about the Secretary of State or
any other cabinet officer (they are all in line, in order of how old their
position is), becoming president for a few minutes, is nonsense.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If a major crisis had erupted on Jan 20 around noon, either Bush or Obama
or both would have handled it. Nobody else.</DIV>
