Yes. And then "President Pence" would have to nominate a Vice-President to take over that job and that person would need to be confirmed by the Senate. that is what happened when Nixon resigned; Ford "moved up" and then named Rockefeller as Veep. LOL. You sort of forgot the whole Senate trial. I must've missed the recounting of Nixon's* Senate trial in my history books. Maybe you could tell me about it? *I don't expect Trump to have a fraction of Nixon's integrity, and Nixon had almost none. |

If the Dems vote to impeach, there would be a trial after. Pence would not be sworn in the next day because the House doesn't remove the president. |

I am all for this. The spectacle will be awesome, and I’m sure it won’t backfire on Democrats.

Good God ... in answer to the question “How stupid is she?,” I’m beginning to think “Ballparkish Trump.”

Someone said to her, "How stupid can you be?" and she took it as a challenge rather than a rebuff.

As the whistleblower story falls apart, Joe jumps on board. How has the whistleblower story fallen apart? Well, when Schiff asserts “There doesn’t need to be a quid pro quo,” it’s obvious there’s nothing in the phone call to get Trump on. So what does Schiff have? A big, fat nothing. |

Against my better judgement, here I am. Not sure I'm going to be doing much sharing, but I like reading. |

I was pointing out the absurdity of YankeeFan's comment. The comparison was to Nixon, who never had a Senate trial because he resigned in advance. I don't think Trump has the integrity, dignity or respect for the office he holds needed to resign, but he should. And I need a Pence Administration like I need a hole in my head. |

Right, though it was a foregone conclusion at the point of his resignation that he would be if he stayed in office. |

LOL I can't believe I'm defending Yankee Fan here, but he wasn't talking about Nixon. You mentioned Nixon which is causing the confusion, but YF was actually talking about the fact the original comment asked if the Democrats vote to impeach (which would in the House because they don't control the Senate) would Pence be sworn in the next day. The answer to that is no because the House doesn't remove the president. He pointed out that you missed a step (regardless if you were talking about Nixon or not). |

As pointed out, at best for the Democrats, this reveals some ugly truths and perhaps energizes their base more than the other side’s..
Anyone who implies the president might be removed from office is just playing pretend. Trent Lott and a 10-seat edge couldn’t get a president out, and a party with a 53-45 deficit and McConnell on the other side doesn’t have an ounce of a prayer.
The only way we get president Pence is if Mitch wants that.
