I’ll go with Nero’s “anything is possible”, as I do see Congress as vested with the ultimate authority to set up courts as it sees fit. (That’s not to say Boehner would ever dare venture in that direction. We know a Reid probably wouldn’t for a D president.)
Nero’s cited memorandum has for the most part the context of an envisaged extended period of time wherein the People are served by the orderly continuation of executive functions, which would largely be both trusted and needed to carry out the People’s business.
Unfortunately, the destructive forces readily put in play by a hypothetical usurper could make such a backdrop of the desirability of “staying the course” during months of an impeachment trial for removal be seen differently from the collective wisdom of 1973 and 2000. It is possible Congress would see an immediate need to keep heinous crimes from continuing, akin to the situation where a doctor that has been shown to do harm repeatedly to his patients, so as to give rise to the desire to preclude—even for a day—such a person from continuing to enjoy the license of practicing medicine.
JMHO.

Key witness in passport fraud case fatally shot
"A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.
Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department’s Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue car.
... The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the State Department had improperly accessed passport information for presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, which resulted in a series of firings that reached into the agency’s top ranks. One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed in U.S. District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme after Lt. Harris told federal authorities he obtained “passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State.” -Snip-

We learned later that the real target was Obama's passport records, "cauterized," and not McCain's or Hillary's records, which we out later in the unclassified report. The break-in was perpetrated by contractors working for John Brennen, the same Brennen who is now the current CIA Director.

A little about Nero. Nero/Jamese777 doesn't expect crying and whimpering Boehner to do anything as we expect, and that is why he relishes saying it over and over. Like here in link
And I quick quote from Nero/Jamese777 from yesteryear here:
"Everyone has skeletons in their closets. Obama has done a masterful job over four years of keeping himself from being “swiftboated” a la John Kerry." Link here.
Not many have the types of skeleton's that the usurper Obama has hidden in his closet Nero/Jamieeee.
