2/ ... confirming a new VP requires majority votes in the House and the Senate. If there is no VP, then Mike Johnson is next in line to the presidency. I think there's a very good argument that the House would not confirm anyone Harris nominated as VP.

I think that the only way they would is if she picked a Dem from the House, helping Johnson's very narrow majority.

Why not rip off the band-aid now instead of when dems don't have the presidency? When is the correct moment to try and force the GOP to play by the rules the Dems do, if not now?

She could simply have sufficient Republican House members “detained” to tilt the numbers in her favor. Not counseling this of course. But could it be reviewed by a court?

Doesn't this also apply if he is reelected and dies in office?

3/ We are in a moment of high and rising political violence. ~ 9% of all US presidents have been assassinated, and ~ 13% have been either killed or wounded in an assassination attempt.
