Peter Welch: “She was to be president pro Tem that put her third in line…”

“I mean, fortunately, Senator Feinstein is back. She's been in committee in voting. She was on the floor during the debt debate. In voting, she's made a number of accommodations. You know, She was to be president pro Tem that put her third in line for the presidency and she relinquished that. She was to be the chair of the Judiciary Committee, but in view of her health, she relinquished that as well. But this is a decision that she's got to make.” (07:42–07:50)
