Share this article

Yes, one of the best and brightest spun a scenario by which the former first lady could get her husband’s old job. Spoiler alert: it’s really tortured.

“Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig says there’s still a scenario in which Hillary Clinton becomes president,” Bradford Richardson reports in The Washington Times. “A candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination himself, Mr. Lessig envisioned a scenario in which President Trump resigns or is impeached, Vice President Mike Pence resigns or is impeached, and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan — who would be next in line — nominates Mrs. Clinton to be his vice president, and then steps aside to let her have the job.”
