Thinking here.

Ok we have been discussing different possible scenarios here. 1( tRUMP wiil resign medical reasons. 2)If he's impeached. Now i'm thinking if he resigns, pence becomes president. The house has to pass by majority vote to accept his VP pick. So while this is going forward, why couldn't the house go ahead and impeach pence?( he's been mentioned by Sondland) With NO VP, Nancy would become president right? How would this play out? ( i know the senate AGAIN will not impeach pence) BUT could make an interesting 2020 election. Would be the same if he's impeached as well. Any thoughts on this?

This just happened so the committee has to meet and decide how to proceed.

keep the power until election. I don't see a scenario where Nancy Pelosi gets to be President .
