Yeah I think that's correct. If you are VP and you take office even if you take it in the middle of a term it still counts as a full term.

I see. So. Let's suppose Biden and Harris run again in 2024. And wins the election in November. Then Biden dies in December, before his first term is over. What happens then? Harris takes over, that seems pretty certain. Will she then also be sworn in as president for the following term? And after that term, would she be prevented from running, as she has now served one month of one term, plus one full term, despite never having been elected president?

Just curious about how the rules work.

I believe that is correct.
However it could fall to a congressional fight also.
The vice president would not automatically become thenew president elect.

Currently Trump is still president.
Even if he conceeds he is still president.
Once the states certify the vote Biden officially will become
President elect. I believe they must certify by december 14th.
Then electord vote on the election. They are expected to vote as pleged but they could go for a faithless vote and vote for whom every they want.

Innaguration is January 20th. Biden will officially becomes president.

This is all assuming lawsuits do not swing the count back the other direction.

In your scenario, assuming she was the replacement candidate her party wanted, as she was innagurared, that month would count as a term.

It does apppear you are correct. In historical context, lyndon Johnson could have run again but decided not to.

I am awaiting the day that 'Q' reveals himself as the biggest wind-up merchant ever.

Not sure if the geniuses behind it ever dreamed it would grow so big but just goes to prove you can sell bullshyte as gold with the right marketing campaign.

Reminds me of the Peter Cook sketch where the End of the World cult meets to watch it all happen as foretold. Lacking the required end, they agree to meet next week and try again.

I believe most of those "conspiracy" theories are true regardless of what you think. I believe Trump was right I believe we were cheated I believe a lot of people are too naive to passive kind of like sheep

The only thing I'm counting on right now is that they want to be voted on again so they can't f*** s*** up too bad

Go China you f****** retards.
