On one hand, you would have her being sworn in. Before a VP that she would choose could be sworn in Congressional approval would be needed.

Being President goes both ways. She gets to be seen being the President. However, it also means that she would be the one deciding things like what to do on Israel, which was a landmine.

Any way, this was not the road taken
