Stop teasing!

Apparently my political slogan, "Sniper for Trump, 2020!" isn't very polite.

I don’t want to put him out of his misery, I want to put him into his misery.

Pretty sure Pence would need Mother's permission to take on the presidency.

Anyone else see in humor in the fact that Ms. Pence, AKA Mother, is actually a Karen?

I think it'd ultimately depend on if he was sworn in or not.

Ah, Boru, you really worry yourself. I mean he's already a vice president who will get a VP pension, so is it that big of a difference if he gets presidential pension?

What would happen would be the deal he makes with other politicians depending on his connections and what he wants. It's not like the laws really oblige to politicians that high, but rather what they can get away with.
Laws are rather like a spiderweb: small insects get caught in them, while bigger don't bother.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Actually, there isn’t a pension for the VP. When he leaves office, Pence will get the same pension as any other member of Congress, based on his time as a Representative (12 years) and as President Of the Senate (4 years). The most he’ll get is $139K. The presidential pension is $219k. So, the ‘big difference’ is eighty thousand dollars.
