Trump is removed through impeachment or some other means and Pence becomes President. Congress can't agree right away on a VP appointment if Dems refuse to back a Republican nominee, so it remains vacant, and then something happens to Pence, so Pelosi becomes president.

Simultaneous impeachment and conviction of both is just not going to happen with Reps in charge of the Senate.
