Can a vice president be sworn in on a president's behalf - IF - the security threat was deemed substantial enough to prevent the incumbent president's appearence in public?

Interesting thought. Of course the incumbent President is Biden so the VP would be Harris so I'd encourage that Alternatively you seem to be suggesting that Vance is worth sacrificing instead of Trump which bearing in mind Trumps record with Vance would be attractive to Trump

In reality as SM rightly states it's not legally possible UNLESS Trump dies before the inauguration in which case Vance would be sworn in as President

Justin Trudeau has resigned as Canadian Prime Minister.

I hope now Canada elects a strong leader who has Canada's best interests at heart, I never realised how difficult a time he has had and the resignation of his deputy probably was the beginnning of the end. Trudeau has beeen elected 3 times as Prime Minister and I would think an Election in Early April has to beckon since Parliament in Canada is apparently prorogued until 24 March.

When you think about it, the Trudeau family has been the most recognised name in Canadian politics. I beleve his father served twice as Prime Minister.
