So, if the president dies, the procedure is that the vice president would then become president for the remainder of the term.
But what would happen if some extremist group somehow kidnapped the president (any sitting president, so this isn’t targeted towards trump specifically, although I guess for the next 4 years it would be).
Like, lets say every Monday at noon, this extremist group did a live stream somehow, showing that the president is still alive, still coherent, but ballgagged so they can’t just blurt out where they are.
And lets say that nobody is able to figure out where they’re broadcasting from. For years.
Would that president remain president? Or would they treat them as dead, even though they’re shown to be alive, and vice president becomes president for the remainder of the term?
Gerard Butler heroically jumps into action, rushing against the abducters, and fails, and then he hears over a radio, the voice of a dying Secret Service Agent yelling “OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN!!!”, before a deafening gunshot is heard.
Then the people cheers as Morgan Freeman becomes President! (well… acting president ¯_(ツ)_/¯)
Edit: Btw, Y’all should really watch those “… Has Fallen” movies, they are very ridiculous in plot, but treat it as a comedy and its so fucking funny.

Because the North Koreans somehow flew a plane into DC without getting shot down like 12 miles from land. 🤣🤣🤣
If I flew a drone in DC, I’m going to jail. There’s no fucking way. Its so bad, its actually hillarious.
Seriously, watch it, is a great comedy show!
