December 15, 2008 (Vol. 21; No. 25) Must Swear In Obama Right Now

“Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning. Seriously....Just to be on the safe side, the Vice President ought to turn in his resignation first. (We’re desperate, but not crazy.) Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would become President until Jan. 20. Obviously, she’d defer to her party’s incoming chief executive, and Barack Obama could begin governing.”

— New York Times columnist Gail Collins in her November 22 column, “Time for Him to Go.”
