Now to hold impeachment investigation into Mike Pence over the senate if they do not convict.

Start the investigations immediately. We already know he's as guilty of high crimes as tRump. If Mitch doesn't convict tRump, we impeach Pence too. There's your motivation.

Pence can simply be arrested and indicted and all the other machinations of being held to account.

VP doesn't get impeached. The only other figures who get impeached are the judges.

The same article lists both the president and VP (along with all other officers)


Article II Section 4

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I am not sure why I forgot that part.

Perhaps because I went back to the memory of Agnew and that part stuck. There was never a question about anyone else in the Clinton event so the question about others never came up in reality so I guess I lost that part of my memory, which is kind of unsettling. But I'd rather stand corrected than go on incorrectly!

Probably a good time to visit my reference library!
