Description

How does Akhil dislike the Presidential Succession Act?  Andy tries to count the ways.  This Constitutional disaster-in-waiting is definitively dissected.  We could have had President Pelosi being sued by would-be President Pompeo, with your 401k turning into a 201F. Show notes on the website include the three incarnations of the Act since the Founding, and some tips on counting from the experts.
