In reply to the discussion: It's time to start preparing for life under Pence [View all]fescuerescue
(4,448 posts)32. Is that up to Trump?
Trump can't impeach Pence. Trump cannot simply select a new VP.
If Trump goes, Pence becomes President automatically.
The only thing that Trump could do is to implicate Pence, but that is meaningless unless the Senate acts on it. And there is no way in hell will the Senate convict Trump and Pence simultaneously and hand over the 1/3 of the government to the opposition.
Trump is long for the ride on this one.

I remember Fitzmas. No way the Senate convicts. We need to prepare for #Traitor post impeachment
