    And if he were to run for a house seat, and we get 2/3 of congress to vote for a package to do this, we could make him president by impeaching and removing POTUS, VP, and have him be speaker of the house and succeed into the presidency for a special term.

    Wishful thinking but it would technically be constitutional. I’ve tossed this idea and many others in my head about how to get massive support across the country to accomplish something crazy bold like this but I could go on and on and there’s lots of what ifs

      Per the 1947 succession act if the speaker (or anyone else in the line of succession) fails to qualify, and age is a qualifier, it goes to next in line which would be the Secretary level cabinet positions.

      I’d be very worried about Luigis politics outside of Healthcare. The jump to murder also does question whether he’d be able to make the compromises necessary to pass legislation. He grew up fairly rich iirc and I would like a president with a bit more life experience.
