State of the union question

[slowsohc]

If there was a bomb blast and it killed EVERYONE whos at the SOTU address tonight, who would run the country until election time? My cousin asked me and I have no answer for him. Help please so I can give him an answer.

Pretty boring speech. Just more of the same ol' same ol'.

Whoops sorry. I can't answer your question. But I'm betting that location is the safest place on earth at the time of those speeches.

They always keep one member of chain of succession in an undisclosed location.

It's also a very safe location.

I think he was stragling a hippy under the desk during the first part, he had this happly little smile on his face. But Im guessing the hippy died, because he started to look bored about a third of the way in.

I know I'm just wondering who it would be? What member?

Wow. Won't be posting in this forum again.

[PPGMD]

The goal was to keep this forum fairly on topic, no one attempted to answer his question.

I laughed at it though, I hated to delete it.

I knew someone was held in a secure location but not sure who it was this year. I did make reference to the secure location, sorry about the Cheney joke.
Getting the hell outta here now. Have fun!

[PPGMD]

I got the joke, I found it funny, if it was the continued banter that continued that ruined the fun.

I played off of it with my undisclosed location comment. I didn't know who it was I just googled it.

Thanks...I was wondering who it was this year.
