Impeach Pence first !!

[jodymarie aimee]

that's how we did it with Agnew and Nixon.

[guillaumeb]

1. An excellent point.

Pence will be the Cheney to Trump's Bush. The éminence grise behind the throne.

[Jacob Boehme]

2. I actually saw Agnew give a speech when I was stationed in Norfolk.

.. he was a complete and utter douche-bag.

[trof]

17. "Nattering nabobs of negatism" That's the guy.

[MichMary]

3. What impeachable offenses

has Pence committed?

(BTW, neither Nixon nor Agnew was impeached.)

[trof]

18. They resigned one jump ahead of the posse.

If they hadn't they would absolutely have been impeached.

[Doreen]

4. Uhh, nice thought but what has Pence done.

He is an asshole but I do not think he has done anything impeachable.

[pansypoo53219]

5. the whole cabal has to be removed. rigged is rigged.

[uponit7771]

10. +1

[LeftInTX]

6. Agnew wasn't impeached

He was charged with tax evasion. Pleaded no contest and resigned.

Now if they can find something on Pence, by all means go ahead. I don't think a VP can be impeached.

[Brother Buzz]

11. A Vice President absolutely can be impeached

But maneuvering Pence into a position that forces him to resign would much easier and expedient.

[LeftInTX]

12. Good. Didn't know.

[trof]

20. Corruption. Bribes I think.

[trof]

21. Here ya go:

In 1973, Agnew was investigated by the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland on charges of extortion, tax fraud, bribery, and conspiracy. He was charged with having accepted bribes totaling more than $100,000 while holding office as Baltimore County Executive, Governor of Maryland, and Vice President. On October 10 that same year, Agnew was allowed to plead no contest to a single charge that he had failed to report $29,500 of income received in 1967, with the condition that he resign the office of Vice President. Nixon later replaced Agnew by appointing House Minority Leader Gerald Ford as Vice President. The following year, when Nixon resigned from the White House due to the Watergate scandal, Ford ascended to the presidency.

22. Corrupt to the core!

[Greybnk48]

7. Agnew was removed because enough dirt was dug up

about him. Pence has been around for a while and he's really fucking creepy weird. There's got to be something in his past.

[sarcasmo]

8. Then it would be President Ryan.

[Jim Lane]

15. Or another Trump selection.

If Pence were impeached and convicted, Trump would nominate a new VP, who would take office upon being confirmed by majority votes in the House and the Senate. If Trump were then impeached and convicted, his selected VP would succeed to the Presidency.

Ryan gets in only if Trump leaves office while the office of VP is vacant.

9. WOW!! The Nixon admin was FUBAR... why are the KGOP still mad about removing them?!?

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Yeah, Pence and Trump don't wear their lapel pins half of the time. Remember Obama caught flack!

[jeanmarc]

14. I hate to say this, but this is impossible.

Nixon seems like he had more grace than Trump. Trump really doesn't give a shit about anything.

Trump is a nihilist sociopath. Rules never work with him.

I can't see him kicking Pence to the curb, and Pence is too much of a suckup to leave on his own. And while our American Mullah Pence might pretend to have values, he threw them out if he ever had them.

Neither of the two would resign with dignity. Neither have it in them.

Trump will resign only when he's not having fun and it's too hard.

[SoCalDem]

16. Unfortunately, being a religious nut is not an impeachable offense

& and we will just have to muddle through when he's elevated..and try like hell to better our position in 2018 and 2020.

It would be helpful to spend some real money in two vital ways..

GET OUR VOTERS DOCUMENTED/REGISTERED
have "our" rich donors run opposition ads against repubs

[Vinca]

19. I've been watching Pence today and trying to figure out what his position is supposed to be.

He seems to be acting as Trump's butler and that's about it.
