In a full-page ad taken out in major US newspapers on Monday, tech manufacturer Samsung has offered an apology for the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, which was fitted with a faulty battery, leading to an unprecedented number of the devices exploding. In September of this year, Samsung issued a full recall; now it's promising to fully investigate the phone, Korea Herald reports.

"An important tenet of our mission is to offer best-in-class safety and quality. Recently, we fell short on this promise. For this we are truly sorry," the ad reads."A careful Note 7 investigation is underway and the findings will be shared when the process is complete...We will re-examine every aspect of the device, including all hardware, software, manufacturing and the overall battery structure. We will move as quickly as possible, but will take the time needed to get the right answers."

Is it too late? The devices have been exploding for months.

    This was a plot point in a "The West Wing" episode.
    (Jed Bartlett had disabling episodes due to multiple sclerosis.)

    The Constitution specifies that the vice-president takes over if the president DIES in office.
    (Remember Edith Wilson after Woodrow had a stroke?)

    ...and it says nothing about someone who hasn't yet taken the oath of office.

    The constitution has nothing to say about a random citizen until the day he is sworn in.

    >The Constitution specifies that the vice-president takes over if the president DIES in office.

    Incorrect.
    The constitution did specify "In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, " (2.1.6)

    And since that removal mess was still a bit ambiguous, wise people fixed the problem in 1967:
