According to the United States Code, which has a special section for commemorative coins: “No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President.”

It’s clearly illegal and they can’t issue it. This is Bessent’s attempt at trying to suck Trump.
it’s clearly illegal and they can’t issue it … so, 100% they will mint it and be issuing it

Well, you know, Bessent could be calling for Trump’s death, in order to be able to legally put his face on coins in two years during what would be Vance’s acting term.
Um Ackshually, if Vance becomes President because Trump bites the big one (or resigns), then Vance becomes the actual, not acting, 48th President, for reals.
It’s only if Vance becomes President due to the 25th Amendment that he gets to be “acting President”.
Thanks. “Unelected” would be better word to substitute for “Acting”
Vice presidents are technically elected.
They originally were directly elected as presidents by the electoral college (which is a completely different problem we need to address), whoever was the runner up, became vice president. However, after the 12th amendment they are elected as vice president by the electoral college.
I think it would be interesting to allow voting for the vp separately on the ballot, but only if it’s popular vote, which should be happening for President as well.
Laws against things are just Trump’s todo list
It’s only illegal if Trump is alive when they do it. Maybe they know something we don’t?
+2 years after death.
So they’re running out of time to push that through this term
