General Discussion

".... Trmp and I were out hunting and he fell off a pretty steep cliff. It looks like he's dead."

"Wait, looks like he's dead ? We have to know for sure before the VP can be sworn in."

"Well, he's not moving at all, his eyes are closed, and I can't wake him up."

"OK, but he could just be badly injured. We'll send a chopper to pick him up."

"But you can't replace him in the Oval Office ?"

"Not yet, he might still be alive. Is there some way you can make sure he's dead ?"

"Wait a minute."

{sound of footsteps walking away. then a gunshot.}

Hegseth gets back on the line. "OK, now what ?"
