But if they impeach Trump, then Pence, guess who becomes President? Nancy.
That's very frightening.
I would never support Nancy becoming president in that fashion. That would tear the country appart!

What if Nancy appoints Hillary as VP and then steps down?!

That was how we ended up with President Gerald Ford.
First Agnew resigned causing Nixon to pick Ford to replace him, then Nixon resigned and Ford became became president.
Of course this scenario is even less likely than Pelosi and Schumer both divorcing their spouses, marrying each other and switching to the Republican party. I mention it only because that has historical precedent.

Based on what's happened in the last 3 1/2 years, I'd surmise that there will be something new, but small. Trump isn't exactly the most discreet person in the world, so something major would not overly surprise me. On the other hand, so many things already proffered as THERE WILL BE BLOOD have been subsequently shown to be tasty nothingburgers, I'm not sure anyone would notice.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

The Republican controlled Senate would never ever vote to remove both the Republican President and VP simultaneously and make Pelosi President, they'd obviously only do it one person at a time so they could put a new Republican VP in in the interim. And currently there simply aren't impeachment articles targeting Pence. It's just the impeachment of Trump being considered.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostThat's crazy talk. There are impeachment articles for Trump. If the Senate votes to remove him, then Pence becomes President. Pence will then appoint a Republican VP. If there were to be a second round of impeachment articles targeting Pence and the Senate were to vote to remove him, Pence's Republican VP then would become President.

I suspect the Dems are creating a continuous stream of reasons to accuse Trump. The GAO office accusations is an example of a new item thrown into that stream. There is a case against Ihlan Omar (in Florida). There is testimony about Trump by a 'witness' which is probably just an excuse to add another accusation against Trump. We may just find that the media has jumped the shark before this Florida accusation is propagandized.
