Sun Feb 24, 2019, 05:05 PM

Feb 2019

Step 1: Resign the presidency
Step 2: Mike Pence is now president.
Step 3: Pence pardons Trump.
Step 4: Pence names a new V.P. who must be approved by both Houses.
Step 5: Pence doesn't run in 2020 and the now pardoned Trump does run.
Step 6: Trump names Pence as his running mate.
