(13,678 posts)To make a ordinary, constitutional law, let's say to name a post office after me, requires the approval of the majority of both the House and Senate, plus the signature of the President. The bill would have to be reviewed and approved by a committee in each chamber before a vote would be held.
You're suggesting that Congress replace a sitting President through unconstitutional means, and appoint a committee to choose the successor. Not only would this be illegal, it would be a far less rigorous process than what we use to name a post office.
What you're proposing is a coup d'etat. Appointing a Congressional committee to select a successor no more makes it legal than if we appointed the DU Cooking & Baking group to select him or her.
