Nope. California government code disallows it.he can do both....
Dems have a supermajority in the state....they can change the code
Actually that would fall under the California Office of Legislative Counsel's preview, which is a nonpartisan public agency.Dems have a supermajority in the state....they can change the code
It would be a nice change if we had a vice president with something to do. I'm all for it. Require that a VP be a sitting governor.Here’s a game plan: Biden replaces Harris with Newsom and then resigns

Biden would not even consider it. It would be disloyal to his Vice President, at the very least. And that is not who he is.
Newsome should throw his hat in the ring like everybody else come nomination season, including Harris. He has a good record to run on and would energize youth, who can make a difference with a well-executed ground game using big data to identify them and volunteers to real world contact them. See what they can do to speed up the generational and democratic shift. Social issues can bring out the young, things like abortion energize young women and climate change does it for many of them. If the republicans want a culture war, give them one by accelerating demographic change. Statehood for DC and Puerto Rico if they can too, there are lots of them living in Florida now too.
Probably not.
It was conversation we were having about how to deal with the possible decline of Joe Biden and possible solutions. it was based on an article in thehill.com. It was an idea to replace Biden with Gavin Newsome.
The will of the people in California is to have a supermajority .....and all that that implies.
Having a supermajority has a few benefits...will of the people
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, Donald did a lot of things he could legally, but shouldn't have.
It was about what could be done...possibilities
If it was to defeat a threat to the constitution and liberal democracy, then a lot of latitude is permitted. However, for mere political purposes not so much. A more traditional dirty trick would be for Joe to knock off a house republican in a state with a democratic governor to get the majority by offering a plum job or ambassadorship to them. It's been done before; Joe and Nancy could find the vulnerable in a one seat majority, they are republicans remember and are no strangers to cutting throats and backstabbing! Also, one of them could be indicted, because there are some real criminals among them Gaetz included.
