While fully aware my neighbors already think I'm a bizarre white lady weirdo, I do find myself wondering what they've thought of me repeatedly shouting "stop helping!" at random intervals this week. In my defense, I'm currently dealing with a three month old kitten.

The Constitution actually has a really tried and tested mechanism for dealing with presidents dropping dead on the job. Or even before they've really started it. You know what it's having a hard time with? Would-be autocrats no one seems to be willing to rein in
