19. Therefore, it would be highly unlikely the GOP would impeach Trump

to turn the White House over to a Democrat.

The GOP just stole one of Obama's picks for the Supreme Court and put another on the Supreme Court with a very sketchy alleged past of sexually assaulting women - sometimes while heavily intoxicated. They're not going to do what is right or fair.

Nixon's concern with the 25th Amendment years before - when it was being considered - was that a President should not have to contend with a VP who was not ideologically compatible. Nixon wanted to use the Electoral College to avoid that. At the time of Agnew's resignation, Dems controlled the House and Senate.

I do not see the unethical, partisan Republicans ever going along with Nancy Pelosi as President (with the fear that she might add Hillary as VP and then resign). The deadheads of Trump's base - their heads would explode. It is not going to happen.

Hard to say, the rules that are vigorously applied to all Democrats are never applied Eliot Rosewater Dec 2018 #1
