without the impeachment of Mike Pence as well. Although it is (remotely) possible that he is genuinely innocent of any wrongdoing, given his entanglement with Trump, it is too dangerous to allow him to potentially continue as president given that he may be just as complicit as Trump in all of this. There is every reason to believe that he may:
1. Take orders from Trump after Trump is impeached.
2. Independently continue in the same direction as Trump.
3. Allow Trump's actions and appointments to stand after Trump's impeachment.
Furthermore, if Russia did indeed manipulate our election, then his tenure as either vice president or president is just as illegitimate as Trump's.
Ultimately, the risk is too great not to impeach him as well if we want to assure that this madness comes to a complete stop.
Although we are still too far away for realistic chances of impeachment, there is every reason to believe that impeachment could be on the table in the coming weeks and months. When the time comes, congress must impeach and remove both of them concurrently.
