7. Nancy Pelosi becomes president

OK, not gonna happen, but much is made of Pence’s role if state legislators send in Trump slates of electors instead of Biden. But, the House can refuse to allow any further slates to be approved if they disagree with, say, Arizona. But, that doesn’t mean Trump and Pence stay in office. They are gone, no matter what, on Jan 20 if Congress hasn’t approved electors (and, as I said, the House can refuse to go past a bad slate). So with both Biden and Trump not approved by January 20, the officially sworn in Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, becomes acting president. Maybe that’s not the ultimate endgame, but it is one step beyond Pence. I hope that is enough to discourage Pence.
