Ugh that supreme court thing. I think I've said this before but if the law specificallly required the legislature to consider ALL presidential nominees in the order they are submitted, regardless of whether the president is still in office, then this would not be an issue. I had thought of a bunch of exceptions like "death" and such, but frankly that just makes the consideration process much quicker, so nah, no need for such things.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
