How about this scenario for succession:
President, VP terms have ended under the constitution at noon on Jan 20 but no new president or VP is sworn in. Succession would then fall to the Speaker of the House (who would hopefully be arrested), then president pro tem of the senate (hopefully arrested), then Sec State (Pompeo) who is not an elected official so his term will not end until he resigns or is replaced. Since there’s no new President sworn in there’s no new administration so mo new cabinet.
Hmmmm. Is this a scenario we can see happening that won’t tear apart our government and that is completely constitutional?
It’s theoretically possible and constitutional. Plus as the remaining cabinet is still in place it provides for a solid foundation if the majority of Congress is placed in irons - until such time as new elections can be held and/or new senators appointed.
Though.... if I remember correctly congress critters don’t have to relinquish their seats just because they are arrested or convicted... but if they are executed....
