Completely hypothetical and correct me if I am wrong here:

If President Bush were impeached, and he was removed from office by the Senate, that would put Vice President Cheney in as President unless he was also impeached and removed from power.

Would that put Nancy Pelosi as President?

I'm not entirely sure how succession goes in that case.

No.

A new veep would be selected within moments after Cheney became Prez.

I remember after Nixon was forced from office a lot of Democrats believed that people would march in the streets and demand that a Democrat be made President.

They were amazed and disappointed that everything went smoothly as the Constitution dictated and Ford took office. It just took the wind out of their sails and was interesting and humorous to watch.
