It seems to go further than Trump. We're going to need rolling impeachments. KittyWampus Mar 2017 #6
The Constitution is clear about lines of succession. It doesn't include your scenario. Eyeball_Kid Mar 2017 #28
It is a valid scenario. Stonepounder Mar 2017 #36
My dream scenario is that.... Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2017 #56

Shrub did not win Florida. He remained in office after this truth was revealed. JudyM Mar 2017 #90

Not if Ryan is at all implicated in investigations. KittyWampus Mar 2017 #89

The more likely scenario tavalon Mar 2017 #174
If Pence goes first radical noodle Mar 2017 #49
That is exactly what the Constitution says. Remove POTUS and VP takes over. After Pence KittyWampus Mar 2017 #87
Unfortunately, there no longer seem to be ANY moderate Republicans in office. nt tblue37 Mar 2017 #144

Constitution didn't contemplate President Gerald Ford, either. lostnfound Mar 2017 #173
Pence and the Republican speaker as VP is the legal order of succession. Sunlei Mar 2017 #135
Wrong again. Pence is in line to the Presidency. Ryan is not in line as VP. KittyWampus Mar 2017 #142
I know Pence would be the president, who is VP if not the "speaker of the house" as VP? Sunlei Mar 2017 #145
25th Amendment specifies as follows in Section 2 LiberalFighter Mar 2017 #172
yes, it will be Pres Pence and VP Ryan. This is something Republicans have planned for over a year. Sunlei Mar 2017 #177

I think Comey was blackmailed into bringing up the Hilary Email issue. TBA Mar 2017 #112

Thanks for pointing out... Blanks Mar 2017 #170

I doubt that Comey could have been blackmailed over something like the Hatch Act. Should he have politicaljunkie41910 Mar 2017 #156
Based on her emotional state bdamomma Mar 2017 #123
Exactly. It wasn't defiance, it was loss. Irretrievable loss. lindysalsagal Mar 2017 #160
I think the most probable explanation is that Comey told them nothing, and that the investigation is still_one Mar 2017 #14
