Nice attempt at using the curse, but I see another possibility:
She dies that night anyway. Comes back undead. Is killed at the appropriate time for the necklace curse. Curse fulfilled.

Ummm....yes! Of course I would make that compromise! If I have a choice between they both die or one dies, of course I'm taking the choice where one lives!
What wouldn't I be willing to compromise on? Nothing. If I have a choice between bad and worse, I'm taking bad, what kind of lunatic would intentionally choose worse?
I really hope the media loses these hard, honestly. At this point I don't even mind if Trump benefits some, I just want to see the media that sanewashed Trump and pretended there was anything reasonable about him returning as a presidential candidate get what they deserve.
At the end of Obama's term wouldn't have made any difference because by then McConnell was committed to holding the seat open for the next Republican.
But people called for her to resign back during the middle of Obama's presidency, when the Democrats controlled the Senate, and her hubristic old ass decided to fuck everyone else by hanging onto power and prestige and trying to be even more historically important.
Woman had a bigger ego than Trump and Musk, and I really hope that historical opinion of her fucking remembers that.
Upside is the cult of personality is attached to Trump, and no one else has been able to pull it off him. Trump is only effective because somehow, for some insane reason, he, personally, has a lot of devoted followers.
Depends on what lesson you think they're trying to teach. "When you know the right thing to do, don't let people use rules and obstructions to stop you from doing it." can be a good lesson.
Sam aged, Frodo did not. I recall several mentions throughout the books that Frodo was considered unusually young-looking for a 50-year old hobbit, just as Bilbo himself was very young-looking for 111. Owning the ring seems to basically just pause your aging, even if you're not using it.
Sam was also twelve years younger than Frodo, but since Frodo stopped aging for 17 years, he wound up effectively older, physically speaking.
Yes, I have always from the first time I saw the movies thought that's what they needed. A five second clip of that and nothing else about the movie has to change!
If your only source is the movies, one of the annoying gripes about them is they have this deceptive editing that makes it seem like Frodo left the Shire within a relatively short timespan after the birthday party.
Frodo got the ring on the 22nd of September of 3001. He leaves Bag End on the 23rd of September...of 3018.
This is not quite accurate. The vice president must be eligible to be the President, not to be elected President. The 22nd amendment has some very specific language.
"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."
It prevents someone from being elected President, but does not make the person ineligible to be the President since it only restricts that one method of gaining the office. A person can definitely become President through succession even if they have served their full two terms already...at least by the constitution as written.
Yeah, if he hasn't spoken to her in ten years and has gone to such lengths to avoid listening to her, why didn't he get a divorce himself?
Seems to me there is something deeply wrong with a man who won't just face and confront the problem head on.
