No Bill, that's not what it means at all. The 1947 law requires there to already be a sitting President, it doesn't apply if the candidates haven't 'qualified'. It was at least partialy implemented to identify the chain of command in case of nuclear/devastating attack. ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able.
