#Trump and #Pence are indicted. @TeamPelosi takes over Presidency and appoints @HillaryClinton as VP.

Now that would be epic, followed up with an epic meltdown on the right.

1. I'd rather focus on 2020 and regain control of

federal government in that election. That's actually possible. What you suggest isn't.

2. ...and then you wake up.

5. That's why it's imagination.

3. Sadly, This Senate Would Never Confirm Hillary.

Trump has a better chance of being convicted in an impeachment trial than Hillary would being confirmed to the Vice Presidency by this Senate--if that's even possible...

4. And Soon After Pelosi Appoints Hillary VP....

Pelosi resigns the presidency. A Hollywood ending......

6. How can Pelosi appoint an unelected official as VP?

9. Gerald Ford was never elected

He was appointed VP after Agnew, then became president when Nixon resigned. He was president without ever being elected.

10. 25th Amendment

Until 1967, there was no provision for filling a vacancy in the Vice Presidency. When Kennedy was assassinated and Johnson became president, he had no vice president - Speaker John McCormack was first in the line of succession. This was not a huge problem since the next presidential election was less than a year away. But Congress recognized this could be very problematic if a VP became president early in a term - as happened in 1945 when FDR died, leaving the presidency to Truman, who served the remainder of his term with no VP. This was less of a concern then when Vice Presidents didn’t do much but attend funerals and wait for the phone to ring. But given the expanded role and responsibilities of modern Vice Presidents, it’s important to fill the vacancy.

So, if Nancy Pelosi became President (oh, happy day!!!), she could indeed appoint a Vice President, with the advice and consent of both Houses of Congress.

And if the GOP Senate refused to approve Hillary, the Democratic House Caucus could elect her Speaker and have the same result. (I know, I know - but a girl can dream, can’t she?)

7. Seems not too different than Pelosi mocking his manhood.

Wishing for an epic meltdown seems not too different than Pelosi mocking his manhood.

8. The power of the Executive Branch

A little different in my opinion.

Deep as opposed to superficial.
