Sorry No President Pelosi - If Pence Is In Trouble He Will Resign And Be Replaced

Before Trump resigns, or gets impeached. Just like Agnew.

If Pence is in hot water after Trump resigns or gets impeached, He will appoint a vice-president before he slithers off to hell.

No way Republicans will let a non scum bag Republican go to the White House.

Sorry Nancy Pelosi Fans.

Ain't gonna happen.

Both Houses of Congress must vote to approve a Vice Presidential nominee. It can’t be rushed through before the new Congress is sworn in.

That's the way we refer to talented, powerful, DEMOCRATIC women nowadays? Good to know.

will require majority votes in BOTH the House and Senate. The Democratic majority in the House could simply refuse to even consider any candidate.

I expect the position will go unfilled for quite a while.

Give it to us straight, tell us the future in no uncertain terms. Would hate to hope for something good to happen just because republicans are rotten to the core. We might actually do more than just let republicans play dirty politics if we actually hoped for a positive outcome.

I think you're correct in assuming this is likely what repugs will do but the only certainty about the future is that it's going to come.
