Pelosi wouldn't be president if Congress delayed elections | wusa9.com: f Congress took the unlikely action of delaying federal elections, would Nancy Pelosi become president on Jan. 20, as rumored on social media?
Answer:
No. The Constitution mandates that a presidential term ends on Jan. 20, meaning that President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence would be out of the office at that point. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would be next in line.
However, she would be out of the office on Jan. 3 if federal elections were delayed. Next in line would be the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, which is currently Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
