A couple of things that might apply as Fridge Logic (or Horror) if they haven\'t been addressed.

The first is, even if the X-men leave earth and miraculously somehow take all active mutants with them, mutants can\'t be neatly separated from baseline humans because the latter can give birth to the former. Most of the X-men had baseline parents. That\'s why people with the mutant potential in \"Days of Future Past\" were forbidden from breeding. Unless they\'re also sterilized, there would be a steady stream of mutant children born who die after their powers manifest.

Second, if you think about it, the Inhumans have to help the mutants deal with the Terrigen cloud. If it spreads out over the world, there are two possibilities. One is despite being strong enough to kill every mutant, it\'ll be too diffuse to cause Terrigenesis in Inhumans. Then they would have to use Forge\'s machine to gather it for their future progeny to have powers. The other is that it will be concentrated enough to cause Terrigenesis. Everywhere. All the time. Their children would undergo it soon after birth, maybe even in utero, and keep experiencing it for the rest of their lives along with the existing Inhumans. In addition, anyone with any Inhuman genes but too few to survive it like Inferno\'s mother and Flint\'s town would die.

Also, have the \"Universal Inhumans\" and their methods of gaing powers been mentioned?

To me, this is quite clear: a Vice-President-elect who becomes President through the failure of the House of Representatives to elect a President is President ''exactly as if the elected President had died''. As a result, such a person would be ineligible to serve more than ''eight'' years as president -- four years from their selection as Vice-President, and a four-year elected term.

And for anyone thinking clever thoughts about the word \"elected\", the Twelfth Amendment has that loophole covered as well:

> But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
