So, Louise Mensch isn't the only one who thinks that it won't be just the president who is removed from office. Painter is a Republican.

2. Given the number of Republicans who would have to vote to impeach?

They should vote to impeach when all is said and done, no doubt. But I sincerely doubt they will.

3. "You don't need to be a member of the House to be Speaker"

I don't know how many times I've heard /read that. But I guess Painter would know for sure since he's been in government for decades.

5. This is actually a good point

7. There's no real scenario where scandal leads to the White House changing parties

Unless the other party has 2/3rds majority in the senate. It *may* be possible to get enough republican to agree to remove both Donnie and pence, but they'll *never* agree to remove them *at the same time*.

A new veep would be nominated and confirmed in between the two, a la Gerald ford, keeping the White House republican.
