To be fair, if the first 15 in line are all dead, the department of Homeland security must be pretty shit.
-
If the Secretary of Homeland Security becomes president, he’s quite bad at his job.
-
"It was Garfield and McKinley" This is fantastic storytelling right here. You ASSUMED I would ask "Four? But I only know of TWO assassinations." and immediately gave me the information thus saving the google search.
-
I didn't even know Garfield died, Jon must be devastated.
-
Secretary of agriculture as the designated survivor is just waiting to use nukes to finally eradicate tumbleweed.
-
If the Secretary of Homeland Security ever became President that would mean that he would have had to be so bad at his job that he probably shouldn't be president. Or secretary for that matter.
-
Fun Fact: There is an actual show called “Designated Survivor” where the capitol is wiped out and the Secretary of Urban Developments becomes the next President.
-
Let's be clear here: When Wilson was "indisposed" and his wife was essentially running things, the whole system of the VP and Cabinet declaring the President "inable" and taking over was not created yet as the 25th Amendment was not ratified until 1967. The "Wilson Incident" is one of the reasons (probably the main reason) this process was even conceived at all.
-
"Congratulations, Mr Secretary of Homeland Security, the first 16 people in the line of succession are dead, you are now the President." "Yay, I guess." "Also, wasn't it your job to protect them?" "Uhhh..."
-
"It was Garfield and McKinley", because you know everyone will be trying to remember who else was assassinated besides Lincoln and Kennedy. :)
-
My 5 year old nephew: “What’s a Vice President?” Me: “Uhhh well if something bad happens to the president, the Vice President takes over as president.” Nephew: “Oh, so it’s like, a spare president?” Best definition of Vice President ever.
-
“There is no time” For both the nuclear bombs and Natives was hilarious XD
-
This video is basically: Assistant Manager vs. Assistant TO the Manager
-
US: imma do this later US almost 200 years later: oh yeah this exists
-
And you didn’t even get into the issue of a President having to be a natural-born citizen, but others in the succession don’t have to be.
-
I watched this video—then three days later, I was in a trivia game and one of the questions was “who is seventh in the line of succession to the president?” The answer was the Attorney General and I got it right. Thanks CGP Grey!
-
0:40 “it was Garfield and McKinley”. Damn, poor guys got shot as presidents and are basically footnotes to most of us wondering “Lincoln, JFK, but who were the other two...”
-
This is like someone who wrote code without looking at any of the edge cases.
-
Love how the last shot has a subtle Battlestar Galactica reference, when the Secretary of Education ends up president of by default.
-
i just caught that when talking about the four assassinations he said "it was garfield and mckinley" because everyone knows about lincoln and kennedy
