a mechanism that could work for hillary would be for the house to make hillary speaker of the house. (don't have to be a member of congress). Then Trump and pence resign. Speaker becomes president.

Then Kaine could be selected speaker. I don't think he becomes VP, but in case of hillary's incapacity, Kaine would be next in line.

There is a perceptual problem with this scenario. It would make the deposing of Trump/Pence to be a political thing. In reality it is a criminal thing......The important thing is to send Trump to prison.
