100. You're talking about line of succession due to vacancy. When Agnew was forced to resign, Gerald Ford

....Gerald Ford replaced him (his colleagues, shaken by the scandals roiling around Nixon, reportedly approached Ford and said, "Jerry, search your soul," meaning did he have anything dark lurking in his own closets). With Gerald Ford as Vice President, they were then free to go after Nixon full bore. That's how Ford became President.

I'd be delighted if they could find something on Pence, starting now.
