    While I don’t disagree. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had already discussed this possibility. And seriously, what is the difference between him stepping down after the next election or 3 months ago? It’s more likely than not to happen legitimately versus “health issues”.

      To clarify, I mean becoming president through the vice presidency, vs being elected as president outright.

        Right and that was my point. She agreed to be his vp and had to be aware that he is more likely to have health issues that have him step down even if only temporarily. For her legacy and the “look” or whatever, there is no difference between him having to step-down today or after the election it’s also how she could (in theory) get 3 terms in office.
