Small archs, alternative storylines and other minor deviations hardly sustain as evidence. This is like saying the Speaker of the House of the Representatives is the president because in some situations with President and Vice-President unavailable he have "the power". Should we also hang his picture on the white house and number him as one president? I'm sure if we were to consider all the ones that temporarily assumed the president position the walls would be unseen due to so many presidential pictures. |
Did the Speakers of the House ever call themselves the President? If not, your comparison is invalid.
