Second in line is what the article states implying after impeachment and removal of Trump not Pence...

And even if she is in that position as in Nixon they vote to replace the VP and he moves up, she is still behind them unless they both are taken out at the same time, then she moves up

Correct, she only movers up if Trump and Pence are both kicked out together, or both temporarily incapacitated.

And she is currently second-in-line. Trump is in the position, VP is first-in-line, and House Speaker is second-in-line.

Agree

So Pence is metaphorically “on the clock” if their canard goes through and Trump is convicted
