Reply To: Presidential Pecking Order

mariner,

What you are referring to is the presidential line of succession, which is based on the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. I gave Kennedy some points for the Cuban Missile Crisis, nut nonetheless he was a mediocre (as well as short-served) President. Are you of the opinion that Kennedy handled that crisis well?

mamashtakah,

Thanks for the correction. Yes, it was the ’73 war that Nixon/Kissinger supplied Israel with emergency arms during the war, to their enormous credit. I’m glad Ford issued the pardon, and it has been deemed the appropiate course in retrospect by the vast majority of historians (who are liberal as is.)
