I think the Trump-Biden presidential election will lead to huge civics lesson(s) for all Americans. I find this absolutely exciting.
Not worried a bit.
First question: if there is a 50-50 split, who becomes US Senate majority leader. That one is easy. See link.
Second question: if there is a 50-50 split, could a moderate Democrat change party affiliation in exchange for some great perks? Or is it more likely that a liberal Republican might change party affiliation when he/she looks at the electorate?
Third question: who decides how many justices there will be on the US Supreme Court? That one is also easy: Congress. And in this case, Schumer and Pelosi will decide.
Fourth question: see, second question.
Fifth question: will we see an additional two US Supreme court justices by the end of 2024? Although there have been as many as ten, an even number seems untenable. Tea leaves: yes.
Sixth question: of those in the US Senate, who is the leading GOP spokesman now? Among those in the US Senate, who is most likely to get GOP presidential nomination in 2024?
Seventh question: how big will the stimulus package be when it is passed in February, 2021?
Eighth question: When will North Korea launch its next missile?
Ninth question: when, how, and why will President Biden step down? As long as he's "useful," he will remain president.
