Bwahaha! Rachel Maddow just asked Andrew Yang how he'd feel about running against Pence.

She was laughing and said something like "I'm not saying he's going to be removed from office, but things are happening awfully fast." She then asked him if he'd rather run against Trump or Pence. He said Pence, because it would make him feel good to know Trump was gone.

Agnew was elected VP. Ford must have made some shady back room deals.

If Pelosi conspires with Trump to become president and then pardon him, we're done. But it would be sweet if she tricked him into resigning though.

then Nixon resigned and Ford became President then appointed Nelson Rockefeller as VP
Ford was Minority Leader of the House at the time and well respected - no skeletons or scandals.

Rockefeller ran against Nixon for the 1968 nomination. I often think about how different many thing would be if he had been the nominee in 1968 instead of Nixon.

Because from my count, after Biden's speech re: impeachment earlier, the only two candidates in the next debate that haven't called for impeachment hearings to begin are Gabbard and Yang.
