If North Korea launched a nuclear missile and took out Air Force one with President Trump and Vice President Pence as well as the Speaker and President Po Temp, ______________, the ______________ would become president.
@JustSaiyan
Well....this is oddly specific, but if the president were killed, the vice president would be given power. If he were killed, the Pro Temp would get it. And if HE were killed, it would fall to the Secretary of State
As for the blanks, since all the other officials were named, I would assume the first blanc is for Orrin Hatch's name, and the second is for SoS
Or it would be Mike Pompeos name, as he is the Sos and they introduce him. I would assume it's the latter.
It would look like this: `If North Korea launched a nuclear missile and took out Air Force one with President Trump and Vice President Pence as well as the Speaker and President Po Temp, Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State would become president.`
Though it could be either response. Pick your poison, as they say.
`If North Korea launched a nuclear missile and took out Air Force one with President Trump and Vice President Pence as well as the Speaker and President Po Temp, Orrin Hatch, the Secretary of State would become president.`
which one most makes sense to you prefer ?
i think this goes in order of who would become president next
@JustSaiyan
I would say the second option.
well he's the senator
and who is the secretary of state ?
Mike Pompeo
exactly so tell why the second option explain to me
Because if you look at the placement of the comma, if we were to use Mike Pompeo instead, it would look like we were calling Pompeo the Po Temp. You can tell because if it were saying that, it would have a comma after the second blank, but it does not. Therefore it is a separate statement.
so it's the first one to you then ?
No, that would be the second one.
If the first were right, there would be a comma here:
ok make sense
@JustSaiyan
I'm not 100% certain I can answer these exactly correct, but I can get relatively close. 1. standing committee views the bill 2. Committee sends bill back to the floor 3. Bill is judged by entire chamber 4. second chamber sends to the President 5. President approves new law
do you think for sure it's right ?
