Sorry, but I can't accept a Harrington/Nimitz ticket. If something
happens to her he is not going to be in shape to assume the
presidency.

And they are from the same State on their planet
which violates the Constitutional block on both
candidates being from the same place.

Actually, the provision is that at least one of the candidates not be from
the same state as the elector. So it is possible that the President and
Vice President be from the same state, especially if no candidate for
either position has a majority of electoral votes, and the voting goes to
the House and Senate.

Well, neither were born in the US. [Grin]

Well, by the time they're born, maybe the US constitution will have been
amended to allow them to hold those offices. Check back in a few thousand
years.

A podnaught in low orbit trumps minor details like that one.

Why would you want a podnaught in low orbit? They're standoff
weapons, not close battle weapons!

Maybe it's low *Jovian* orbit, well beyond the reach of
anything we can do... ;-)

Besides, given the Eridani Edict which, even assuming a
mostly-impotent Solar League, will almost certainly be
enforced by *someone*, what can a podnaught do?

The Eridani Edict doesn't prohibit firing the planet if it refuses to
surrender to a force holding it's orbitals.

Thus you can shoot, it's just a podnaught isn't the right weapon to
shoot with.

Point taken.

Nope; an old-fashioned dreadnaught (or even a cruiser, heavy
*or* light) would do just fine, and wouldn't even have to
use missiles; there's sure nothing we could do to stop it.
The only caveat is that I don't know how well energy weapons
would penetrate the atmosphere while retaining sufficient
energy to be useful. While any energy weapon would be more
efficient in vacuum, the question involves issues of beam
frequencies and interaction with air molecules.

Harrington/White Haven ticket?

I don't recall there being anything in the Constitution requiring an office
holder to be human, so sounds good to me. I don't even remember a
residency requirement for Cabinet positions, just Senate approval.
