Why do you view Pelosi as powerless?
I wasn’t trying to be offensive. Harvard is one of the most prestigious worldly educational systems in existence. I was stunned when you downplayed Pelosi’s governmental powers!
Why do you downplay her position? Please, help me understand?

I think your comment was a passive aggressive insult and a very transparent one. Doesn't matter to me what the intention, I don't know you and the tone of words is often misunderstood. But, I wouldn't have been surprised if I hadn't remembered the line of succession. It's not something I need to keep top of mind and it has yet to happen.
My reference was to the authority Pelosi currently has as compared to that of Trump. I am not downplaying her current position. I was contrasting the difference in the power of the President and her. As speaker she is primarily a watchdog for proper behavior and procedures in the house. The behavior of Trump is not justified or more acceptable by comparing it to the behavior of another. Trump is in charge and as it relates to the pandemic and his authority cancels out any that she has. She can make lots of 'noise' but that's about it. That was my point.
I'm not concerned about your scenario. If it were to happen tomorrow the world would become a much safer, kinder and significantly more rational place. I'm also fine with Biden to Harris to Pelosi. IMO Trump is a malignant narcissist. If that is the case, he has no limits for destructive behavior including nuclear war. He is the polar opposite of a stable genius.
I don't think 300 sources will make any difference but just for grins here are two more sources.
