Fair point. If he was to be obstructed from appointing a VP while they try to impeach him (for what, I wonder?) I think the Supremes would almost have to step in.
Not to mention the next election would be a bloodbath.
Home run? Their argument is totally empty. They struck out.
Shamimpeachment: Day 2
Following adoption of the articles of impeachment, the House adopts resolutions appointing managers to present the articles before the Senate, notifying the Senate of the adoption of articles and appointment of managers, and authorizing the managers to prepare for and to conduct the trial in the Senate.
............
Until notification to the Senate, by the House, is made, the adopted articles of Impeachment are not formal. Such notification may be delayed as long as the next Congressional Session.
...........
Until the Senate is informed formally and managers appointed by a filed resolution to the Senate, the Senate may ignore the House resolutions of Impeachment.
...........
If the Congressional session expires, then new managers have to be appointed by a new House Resolution in the next session. The adopted Articles of Impeachment, however do not have to be readopted but have to be filed no later than the end of the next session.

They intend to remove Pres and VP, then Pelosi takes over as Pres, makes Clinton her VP, then Clinton is anointed by DEM convention.
Hell with pitch forks, shooting would start before that would happen. I know its their dream plan, but it isnt remotely possible.
Schiff4brains, sans makeup, after reading the IG report.
How do I know it is him? Just look at those eyes! 9 posted on 12/16/2019, 9:33:01 AM by A Formerly Proud Canadian
If it's from Schiff, Flush It.
Exactly!
Democrats have only three options in proceeding: bunt, foul out, or strike out.
Naw...this is how it goes down:
If the Senate convicts the President, President Trump resigns and VP Pence becomes pres...he appoints Trump as VP then resigns making Trump president, again; President Trump then appoints Pence as VP.
I like my scheme better!!
They are flat out dreaming if they think they can get Pelosi as President.
They're deluded but they are also very evil and I would not be surprised if they found someway of offing Pence as close to simultaneously as they can to removing Trump.
I do too.
Never thought of that.
The story of the Democrat Party and their voters can be seen by viewing “Idiocracy”.
The troubling thought is that they are still doing so well.
But, they do have electrolytes.
And yes, they will now go after Pence, as promised.
“Hell with pitch forks, shooting would start before that would happen. I know its their dream plan, but it isnt remotely possible.”
That is EXACTLY why they want to confiscate all our guns.
The Democrats can't even get an impeachment right.
