This is clearly a self-directed "political coma"!
To avoid taking office, they even used the self-harm trick, and chose a restroom as the scene. It was as if they stomped on political decency and flushed it away.
"F***! Those cowards! One resigns, another faints in the restroom! Is the top power structure of the United States made of paper?!" An angry roar and the sound of shattering porcelain came from a senator's office.
The constitutional chain is broken!
The Vice President "conveniently" collapsed, so what next? The Speaker of the House? The President pro tempore of the Senate? That long list of succession now looks less like a power ladder and more like a death notice stating "whoever takes the job is doomed."
The nation cannot be leaderless for a single day, especially in a state of war.
