6. The government gridlock would force Republicans to demand resignations. |

Else the Republicans would lose power in an unprecedented fashion. For their own self-interest they would be forced to begin impeachment hearings in a stalemate.
America can't have a President and Vice-President who are indicted for conspiracy awaiting leaving office to face trial. They'd have to go one way or the other.
This is Nixon Redux. And the 21st century equivalent of Barry Goldwater would have to make the trip to the White House to say, if you don't resign, you'll not only be impeached in the House, but convicted in the Senate.
