Pelosi could be POTUS before this is all over.

[yellowcanine]

If Trump has to resign over Ukraine maybe Pence does also as he is very likely part of the coverup.

[Towlie]

1. It might happen...

[Initech]

41. Ha ha, Wayne's World FTW!

[lapfog_1]

53. ask and ye shall receive

[mikeysnot]

2. And Hillary as VP

would be a nice finish to the end of this sad story.

[MrsCoffee]

29. And then Pelosi stepping down and Hillary naming her VP, lol.

Cuz Hillary is the truly elected President.

[mikeysnot]

48. yep

heads would explode.

[ScratchCat]

3. No she wont, she's impeachment insurance

Because the Senate GOP will never agree to force Trump out unless there is a guarantee that Pence will be there.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. If Trump goes, Pounce has to appoint a new VP,

so they'd have to get him out before he could get that person approved by a majority of both houses of Congress (25th Amendment). I'm assuming the Democratic House could throw a spanner in the works and slow that down. Only then could the Speaker of the House become president.

[StarfishSaver]

22. I doubt she'll be the next president

But since the House would refuse to confirm a VP. nominee, she'd spend the rest of the term breathing down the president's neck ...

[njhoneybadger]

5. tRump will never resign

[leftieNanner]

13. 100% Agree

He will NEVER resign. For any reason. EVER! Because he will never admit that he isn't perfect, and because he fears prison. Figures the only way out of that is to stay in office. This is why he talks about third and fourth terms.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

37. just look far east to Israel. Bibi won't budge.

So far he us being kept alive by more corruption. White House in the mix, of course.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

6. I no longer have any faith that Trump will ever face ANY consequences for ANYTHING.

[Va Lefty]

7. Sadly, I think you are correct

[dewsgirl]

8. Unfortunately this seems to be our current reality.

[Buckeyeblue]

11. That's probably most likely. Unfortunately.

[ElementaryPenguin]

49. Why?

How can we just accept this?

We can't just accept Nancy Pelosi's House leadership - no matter what she doesn't to stop Trump - and anymore than we should just accept Trump!

This is supposed to be a frickin' democracy - for Chrissakes!!!

[empedocles]

9. If we can't impeach trump, seems like we can't impeach anybody . . .

. . . . and, this election is ours to lose.

[triron]

17. Well, ours to have stolen again.

[brewens]

10. All the right-wingers will spontaniously combust if that happens. We might have manpower shortages

for awhile, but we'll get through it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Doubt it.

Only slight chance of that happening is if Trump is re-elected but we take the Senate.

Even then you’re assuming a joint impeachment trial of Trump and Pence, which I don’t think would happen.

But no way does any Republican vote to remove both and cede the White House. Maybe Trump alone, but never both.

[global1]

14. Doesn't It Depend On How Invested Pence Is In This Controversy?.....nt

[global1]

15. If By Some Slim Chance That Pelosi Winds Up As President.....

does she just serve out Trump's term? Does she get a whole 4 year term? How does that work?

[StarfishSaver]

23. Yes.

[in2herbs]

36. My personal opinion is that Pelosi has been hesitant to impeach Trump because she knows that

Pence will be gone, too, making her Pres. In that event the deplorables would place everyone's life at risk and she's not willing to risk the country.

That's not to say I don't want Trump impeached cuz I do.

[onenote]

16. She "could be" in the same way that tomorrow I "could" win every lottery in America.

[Sherman A1]

18. Could, Yes!

Will, I don't believe so.

[brooklynite]

19. For the millionth time, no.

First, Trump doesn't "have to resign". Second, even if he get Impeach and Convicted, it won't happen at the same instance as Pence. Pence would become President and would appoint a (Republican) VP who would replace him.

[zackymilly]

50. Stop with your facts! nt

[Cuthbert Allgood]

20. NEVER going to happen.

It is going to be hard enough to get the POTUS or VP removed. Getting them both removed at the same time is NEVER going to happen.

[themaguffin]

21. I don't even understand how this is a thing. We have seen nothing yet that shows

any actual action that will take him.

[cwydro]

24. Lol.

Again, I wish I had a dollar for every one of these “he’s done” OPs.

[former9thward]

25. No that will not happen.

Trump won't resign, People love to throw Pence into everything even though no credible person has accused him of anything, Pence would pick a VP and it would not be Pelosi.

[lame54]

26. Trump is NEVER resigning...

In fact he will beat this like everything else

[pnwest]

27. I wonder if this possibility is the reason

she’s seemingly slow-walking impeachment so she doesn’t seem to be - and the R’s can’t accuse her of - being too eager to do so because she wants his seat? Of having nefarious motivation...

Maybe, the truth is so awful that it will bounce trump and pence both out of the WH, she knows this, and the possibility of her becoming Prez is actually real enough that she’s taking every possible precaution, and appearing to be hesitant so that history can never accuse her of pushing him out so she can ascend.

What if the plan is to EITHER see him voted out in 2020, or begin impeachment proceedings the day after he wins re-election?

[mcar]

28. My fondest wish

[Mike Nelson]

30. I don't think...

... it's likely. If Crooked Donald goes, Pence picks the VP. I think the Speaker is President if something happens to both the POTUS and VP - like they are in plane crash or something. If that happened, I hope Pelosi would pick Hillary as VP and resign - thus giving the vote to the candidate the people wanted in the first place.

[elocs]

31. What makes Trump "has to resign"? House investigations? He'll dismiss them as fake news.

If impeached the Senate will not vote to convict him because they are tied to Trump at the waist and his fate will be theirs.
The 25th Amendment? That's a fantasy of the Left which might make for a good tv show or novel but in reality it doesn't happen.

But fantasize away but in the meantime work hard to defeat Trump at the polls next year because that will be the only sure way to get both him and Pence out of office.

[progressoid]

32. I'll have what you're smoking.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Hillary should be president.

[ffr]

34. Are you kidding? Pence was on the phone with Ukraine on Wednesday to discuss tRump's meeting

He's 100% both feet into this.

[sarisataka]

35. And then she will make Hillary VP

And then she will resign so Hillary becomes President
And then Hillary will nullify Trump's term by EO
And then she gets to fill the now open SCOTUS seats
And then add 4 more for good measure
And then SCOTUS rules we need to skip the 2020 election so she can serve a full term
And then Trump, his family and associates are jailed on Alcatraz
And then all Republicans resign from Congress in shame
And then the unicorns that have been hiding for thousands of years reveal themselves and cure all diseases with their magical powers so we won't even need universal health care

[zackymilly]

51. That gave me a buzz. n/t

[Kablooie]

38. Only if 20 R senators agree.

Which is highly unlikely.

[berksdem]

39. keep dreaming...

dont want to sound the negative alarm but it is not happening.

[NotHardly]

40. only wishful thinking

... although, with all the dithering and pearl clutching I've seen her do and then do nothing more, I am not as enthusiastic about such as I might once have been.

[pbmus]

42. I am not holding my breath to see this...

[bluestarone]

43. Love this picture.

[zackymilly]

52. They all have the same prison number. n/t

[Duppers]

44. 😂

[ancianita]

45. If that happens I will pray to a god the rest of my life.

[Hamlette]

46. resign? He'll never do it and no Republican will make him.

Nixon only resigned when Republican leaders told him to or he'd be impeached.

Can't see it today.

[Codeine]

47. Seriously, a lot of posters here must have flunked

every civics class they ever took.

[2naSalit]

54. That's been my hope for a couple years now....nt
