I listened to Speaker Pelosi this morning and she seemed mostly incomprehensible. Does she have dementia? It was painful and sad to listen to. Hopefully there is someone around to intervene, get her proper care. The country needs a Speaker, number three in succession, that is in good health. Speaker Pelosi is clearly not.
If the Dim House impeaches Trump and the Senate convicts (not likely), then VP Pence becomes President.
Unless and until he has a VP in office, the Speaker is the next in line. It takes a majority vote in both houses to confirm the VP selection.
How likely is it that the Dim House would vote in favor of any VP selection by Pence?
Not very.
