Loki ills_2_0 ... I checked that site and it is wrong. Here is legalese for beginning of succession, too much to quote it all. 3 USC ref: 19. Vacancy in offices of both President and Vice President; officers eligible to act (a) (1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President. (2) The same rule shall apply in the case of the death, resignation, removal from office, or inability of an individual acting as President under this subsection.
Everyone should be furious about the US Justice Dept. arranging to sell guns to the Mexican drug cartels, guns that were used to kill hundreds of Mexican citizens.
Obama promised that his Administration would be transparent. For Holder to lie to Congress and refuse to turn over documents requested by Congress, and for Obama to invoke executive privilege in an attempt to cover up this horrific program is contemptible.

Grow up. Do you have a clue what Fast & Furious is about?
Of course I know what this ATF sting was about. Do you? I also know a waste of time when I see it. I voted Republican and supported the party since Reagan. My eyes are open to their antics. This is an attack on Obama.
We have a major gun problem in our own country. Never a word about that. Bush said they had solid evidence of weapons of mass destruction, It cost us thousands of lives of our dear troops to find zero evidence of such. No hearing. Now these Repubs spend a year and a half over "documents"? Please!
No Wheear, we don't have a gun problem in the U.S.; we have a crime problem in the U.S. All this garbage about "gun violence" is just political spin to outlaw our rights under the second amendment. Nazi Germany outlawed the private ownership of firearms and millions were slaughtered as they had no ability to protect their homes and families against a ruthless dictator. The same is true witht he Soviet Union, Egypt, North Korea and China, where the government is free to slaughter its citizens at will. The fault lies with the criminal population, not the weapon they choose to slaughter innocent civilians. As we have witnessed the erosion of our constitutional rights following 9/11, and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus for those designated as terrorists, I suggest you would be better off learning how to safely handle a firearm rather than spout your progressive drivel about "gun violence."
It is just the next trip in an endless fishing expedition.
When Issa offered to postpone (make a deal) last week, you know there would be no postponement no matter what was agreed upon.
No one likes "Fast and Furious". No one thinks it was a great idea in hindsight, but what it did do was point to an drug informant as one of the biggest gun runners. Now more information will liekly expose any other undercover operation that is occuring in thedrug cartels.
