If Obama resigns or is forcibly removed, then what happens ? Joe Biden, who is even less predictable, moves into #1 and Nancy Pelosi who is insane to #2.

Biden would be president and the new VP would have to by confirmed by the house.

Not exactly. The VP takes over as POTUS but the Speaker of the House does NOT move up to Veep. Only if both the President AND Vice President are unable to serve would the SoH become POTUS. Also, absent a VP should Joe move on up, Pelosi would remain as next in line for the Presidency should anything happen to Joe. (And if the scenario was that Obama is a loon, then whither Joe?)

Slow Joe's first act as a patriot would be to appoint an ABP* VP and seek Congressional approval before Nancy Pelosi had any shot at the Presidency.

actually joe gets the #1 slot and picks his number 2, which would be hillary clinton. 6 months later joe resigns due to “personal health reasons” and hillary gets the top spot.
