It appears that America will have to get used to the words ‘President Yellen,’ but only if the very worse happens tonight during President Biden’s address to Congress.

Since Biden hasn’t named an official ‘designated survivor’ for tonight’s event, if a mass causality event occurs which kills all others in the line for the Presidency, Treasury Secretary Yellen would become President.

As Fox News reports: 

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen would become president of the United States in the case of a hypothetical Capitol disaster since President Biden has not named a “designated survivor” for his Wednesday address to Congress.

A designated survivor is the person in the presidential line of succession chosen not to attend an event in the case of a mass casualty event that kills all other potential successors; designated survivors typically stay in an undisclosed location during important events.

“There does not need to be a designated survivor because the Cabinet will be watching from their offices or their homes,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during a Tuesday briefing when asked whether the president would have a designated survivor during Wednesday’s speech in light of COVID-19 audience restrictions keeping some Cabinet members home.

The White House clarified to Fox News that because of the White House’s decision, Yellen would take over as president in the case of a catastrophe unless Democratic Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, Senate president pro-tempore, decides not to attend the event in person, in which case he would fall next in the line of succession.

    1. Virtually each time Numb Nuts makes a speech, he demonstrates why he shouldn’t be president. He also demonstrates why he should be in a care home (Or, if any of the shenanigans we’re learning about him and his son are valid, he should be in jail.) I firmly believe that is why he was ‘elected’, so Commie-La Harris could invoke the 25th Amendment, and become the first woman president. Women can be pretty sneaky (My wife is Exhibit A) and in the realm of politics, they’ll employ this trait to get ahead.

  1. Just another of many examples why JoJo the Clown should not be the POTUS. Not qualified, not capable, not coherent, fumbling, mumbling Senile Joe.

        1. All Jews are ‘traitors’, because they’re citizens of Israel. Whatever nation they occupy, they’ll have their bags packed and ready to ‘aliyah’ to their homeland after they’ve worn out their welcome. That’s what Hitler was doing with his Jewish population. However, old Adolf was working with Zionists to steer those people toward Palestine.

  2. This is how the communist work! They put in even worse appointees that drink the Kool-Aid of communism when it should be the actual people choice! TRUMP/PENCE! I don’t care how many dead bodies voted for the demented jo and his crime family!

    1. Again, there are only two elected communist party politicians in the United States one is a city Council member in Pennsylvania another is a city Council member in Ashland Wisconsin. Repeat there are no other communists in office

      1. A third of all elected are CATHOLIC… CATHOLIC is COMMIE. Jojo is a CATHOLIC TRAITOR. Patrick Leahy is just one more CATHOLIC traitor.

          1. Marx was Jewish. His grandfather was a Rabbi. One famous Jew (Stephen Wise) described communism: “Some call it communism. I call it Judaism!” I sense his description has proven to be accurate.

        1. Biden’s a liberal. Liberals believe in Big Government. They’ll orchestrate situations to ‘justify’ expansion of government size/scope/cost/authority far beyond their Constitutional limitations. Let’s just say Numb Nuts is an unwitting commissar whose going to be the “Useful Idiot” for tyrants to implement such measures.

      1. Biden is NOT a Catholic. No Catholic would engender any liberal notion in the church, or the government.

          1. Catholics don’t condone or defend homosexuality. (We tolerate it, but personally, I don’t think poking someone’s anus with your penis is something people should ‘celebrate’.) Catholics do not condone abortions. Biden is no more Catholic than Bibi Netanyahu is Catholic.

    2. True, but as I pointed out, the “C” word is not mentioned in polite company. They’ll always front the less corrosive title of “Socialism” to condition their dupes to adopt such forms of government.

  3. As much as I don’t think Ms. Yellen would a good president, she would be several steps above Dementia Joe or Commala!

      1. I shudder to think what would happen if that dimwit takes the White House. OMG, we would have to carry gay/transgender illegal aliens across the border aboard limousines, and vacate our homes to furnish their living quarters. This is not to mention illegal alien pregnant women seeking abortions–free of charge–being pampered and prepped aboard our congressional Welcome Wagons.

  4. AND THE FARMER HAULED ANOTHER LOAD AWAY TO SPREAD IN THE FIELDS HERE! The worst of the worst since 1778 has occurd here now in the BIDEN CIRCUS!

  5. What disaster could possibly befall our exalted leader? By the same token, if Numb Nuts should kick the bucket (Excuse me for a moment, my mouth started watering..) there are provisions to designate a successor, so this article somehow bypasses that process. Besides, we have the almighty former California State official in the copilot seat, so she should be absent from any cataclysmic event, and be ready for the top spot. (Frankly, she won’t be ready, because she is neither qualified nor experienced sufficiently to be president. Quota hiring should never be practiced at that level of government.) It appears Numb Nuts and his heavy-handed administration have already been a disaster, so all this planning is a moot point.

  6. The Democratic Party wants to project to the American people that no one is safe . Fear mongering is their strategy to undermine freedom. They create chaos to promote their eventual complete take over of America. We will soon live in a police state policed by federal troops as it is in any other communist nation. Beware my fellow citizens with the dims
    in power we lose our freedom. This first Biden 100 days is only a prelude to absolute communist rule.

    1. What do you mean “Project”? They (Democratic Party) make SURE were not safe. Look at all the criminals they’re letting out of prisons, and over our borders? By the same token, look at how those miscreants are lovingly described by our liberal media if they’re harmed by police, or worse, wrongfully convicted? Liberals also get us into wars, while rattling our swords toward foreign countries to orchestrate yet another simmering conflict to posture Washington as a fortress. We’re only ‘safe’ when we’re able to defend ourselves, and we have the backing of our government to ensure we possess and employ our defenses when necessary. As you may notice, such defenses will be confiscated if Numb Nuts implements his agendas.

  7. Because of what Democrats all believe, anyone on the list would be a disaster. We have no hope at all with the socialist/proCommunist Democrat Party in control in Washington. Mike Pence deserves to be drawn and quartered for what he did on 6 Jan 21. He should have sent the contested votes back to the various state legislatures for review.

  8. A designated what, for a phoney presidency, this loser are dreaming… if joKe bidet dies because he can’t hold on for over an hr delivering a speech is enough prove that he was illegitimate elected..
    Maxine Waters have been inciting riots since 1992 in the Rodney King beating because he failed to stop while intoxicated and had the LAPD chasing him for hrs and was mocking them in Pacoima CA, Waters has a history of inciting riots she MUST BE EXPELLED from Congress she doesn’t even live in the district she represent.

    1. That’s an interesting topic (Waters inciting riots) Sorta smells like extortion, doesn’t it? “If we don’t get our way, we’ll ransack your cities and loot/burn down your businesses!” Those BLM people profess their origins being from Africa. If one studies the salient statistics of that continent, its governments, economic status and cultural issues, we might discern some similarities.

  9. Heaven help us. As if quid slo Joe hasn’t screwed us enough to date. We don’t need the FED boss to hose us up more.
