The First Tangible Benefit From The Death

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Lack of leadership?  Like POTUS is a vulture waiting for supreme court justices to die.........

Head of state dude, he's got more important  (and more frequent) things to arrange plans for.

The point being is that the President, whoever it may be, should have candidates already selected to fill each SCOTUS position before the there are any vacancies.  So he has a person selected to fill Justice A, another one to fill Justice B, etc.  Then if the particular vacancy occurs all he has to do is call the candidate and verify that he's still on for the job.   When he says "yes" they get together and announce it.  The President could have people working on that an hour after he takes office.
