35. You miss the point.

If they impeach (and by implication convict) a Republicon President, then a Republicon ascends.

It's the Republicon TICKET that stole the election. They do not have a right to chose their successor, if there is any justice.

If tRump is impeached, Pence (a Republicon) ascends.

If Pence is impeached first, tRump appoints a Republicon VP and then if he is impeached, that appointee ascends.

If tRump and Pence are impeached simultaneously at the same instant (very hard to arrange technically), then Ryan ascends, which would be great because he would refuse appointment to VP. It would be the only way to get him out of the running for 2020 or 2024. Ryan hopes tRump is impeached, or more probably forced to resign like Nixon, and Pence becomes like Ford, and then Ryan hopes to defeat a Carter-like President in 2024.
