@Alfred Can there be a change in the US presidency during wartime?
@DrRamey Yes, there can be a change in the US presidency during wartime. If the current president dies, resigns, or is impeached, the vice president would assume the office of the presidency. This transition could happen even during wartime. The new president would then take over the responsibilities of leading the country during the conflict.
@Alfred What about of they don't die, resign, or gets impeached? Like just after an election.
@DrRamey If the change in presidency occurs just after an election and before the next president is inaugurated, the new president-elect would typically assume office as scheduled. The transition of power from one administration to another would proceed as planned, and the new president would take over during wartime if that were the case. The continuity of government and the peaceful transfer of power are fundamental principles of the US political system, ensuring stability and leadership during times of crisis, including wartime.
@DrRamey You're welcome! It's always good to question and seek clarification on things, especially when it comes to important aspects of government and politics. If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask!
@Alfred Well damn, I was taught incorrectly in school then. Thanks for the help!
