This is not from Me,but a CNN Report Titled : - Disaster - It speculates what happens in the event Trump is knocked off { killed } while being sworn-in. Trump does not have any confirmed Cabinet members yet.What happens in the event of an incoming attack.As the transfer of power is underway. I don't like to talk about this,but CNN did.They seem to know something that We the People don't. That " an individual named ' the designated successor ' will not attend the Inauguration and as a security precaution and it won't be a Trump Cabinet Secretary but rather an Obama appointee " reports CNN. This is in keeping with CNN's vitriolic dislike of the President-elect. Keep in mind that when a man { Thomas DiMassino } attempted to rush the stage at a Trump rally going after Trump himself, CNN gave this Protestor a platform to denounce Trump as a bully.
Does anyone know constitutionally what the procedure would be. Does the V.P. automatically assume the position.I would think so. Because Trump has No Confirmed Cabinet members yet. Did they confirm Elaine Chao { Transformation Secretary } yet.She was The first Asian-American to be appointed Cabinet post under George Bush. She was Labor Secretary for both Bush Terms.
