How a Trump impeachment could lead to a Pelosi presidency
CNN ^ | Oct. 31, 2019 | Paul Callan

Posted on 10/31/2019 9:58:37 AM PDT by Innovative

House Democrats will press forward on Thursday with a House vote to officially greenlight impeachment proceedings into President Donald Trump's handling of aid to Ukraine while he was seeking an investigation of his political rival, Joe Biden.

What might follow could be a double impeachment scenario that would make heads spin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the president of the United States. After Pence, she's next in the line of succession.

but no sane person expects it to happen.

That would leave out all Democrats and Senator Pierre Delecto.

We all know how the initial success of a coup that put the presidency in the claws of Pelosi or Hillary would turn out. I pray that the resulting civil war would not be as devastating as the math suggests.

The perpetual seditionist losers need to receive Justice...one way or another. Hopefully, President Trump will drop the hammer on these traitors.

Nancy will get extra drunk tonight celebrating ,LOL

How will we know when she’s drunk? We probably won’t notice much of a change in her normal behavior.

Thanks Innovative. It won't happen, and if impeachment passes, no one at the drive-bys will be around to cover it, nor will the Botox by the Bay.

It will NOT happen because the Republican senate would NOT vote to impeach a President Pence.

It’s only a stunt to try to make Trump resign and/or stop Barr from investigating them

If this ever did happen, couldn’t Pelosi be impeached since she would have the most to gain and by leading this effort be guilty of a quid pro quo, the very thing she is supposedly accusing the President of?

Excerpt

“Nearly every day for at least two decades pharmaceutical drugs have been brought by the carload to the Capitol — an arrangement so under the radar that even pharmacy lobbyists who regularly pitch Congress on their industry aren’t aware of it.

“The deliveries arrive at the secretive Office of the Attending Physician, an elaborate medical clinic where Navy doctors triage medical emergencies and provide basic health care for lawmakers who pay an annual fee of just over $600. Every one comes from Washington’s oldest community pharmacy, Grubb’s.

“Mike Kim, the reserved pharmacist-turned-owner of the pharmacy, said he has gotten used to knowing the most sensitive details about some of the most famous people in Washington.

““At first it’s cool, and then you realize, I’m filling some drugs that are for some pretty serious health problems as well. - And these are the people that are running the country,” Kim said, listing treatments for conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

““It makes you kind of sit back and say, ‘Wow, they’re making the highest laws of the land and they might not even remember what happened yesterday.’””

When there is a vacancy in the office of Vice President, the President can nominate a replacement but that person has to be confirmed by a majority of both houses of Congress. So it's unlikely that Trump could become Vice President.

Pelosi, Schiff and company have been trying to turn the nothing-burger of Trump's phone call with Zelensky into an impeachable offense, but even if the Senate were to convict Trump on such a flimsy pretext, how would the Democrats get Pence removed? And he would be able to pick a new VP (although it would have to be someone who could pick up some Democrat votes in the House).

If both Trump and Pence were somehow removed, Pelosi would be Acting President. I don't know if there is anything in the law about succession to the Presidency which says that she would actually be President.
