But given his Irish background, he reminds me of my father. My paternal grandfather (who I never met, he was a WWI veteran and died young at 48 when my Dad was only 12) came from Irish immigrants and my Dad was the one who favored him.

Section 4:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Of how this government has failed us for the umpteenth time. It was a reasonably good attempt that lasted for many years, but failed to take into account the depravity and low moral character of a third of the population.

Don’t ask me how to solve that problem because I have no answer at this time. In fact, the answer is beyond one person. It will take an extensive collaboration of our best and brightest to devise a government that can work in present circumstances.

Complicating the situation is an economic system that eats the seed potatoes. There is also the major problem of a value system that is materialistic and shallow.
