The Potomac Agreement: A Co-Presidency

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Why can't we just abolish the Presidency and proclaim Jesus King of Atlasia?

Meh, a real co-presidency would be if we have co-presidents serving at the same time, like Roman consuls.

I think it would be safer to do something like this:

1. Yankee concedes and Blair is inaugurated
2. At some point Blair appoints Yankee Vice President (elected VP stepping down)
3. After two months since taking office, Blair resigns, making Yankee President

I know, it sounds like more complications, but I prefer doing this rather than have another legal challenge, delaying everything. We can always amend the constitution later.

If none of the justices have a problem with the plan, I suppose it should proceed.  I think Kalwejt's idea is the most legal way of carrying this out.

I just don't want the legal crisis prolonged by possible claims of unconstitutionality and illegitimacy.

I'm happy you guys choose the most plausible legal path to sort it out. In meantime, we should probably pass a constitutional amendment to make such a shared term part of the law.
