Call me a cockeyed optimist, but... If Mueller's investigation unearths evidence of absolute criminal behavior from Trump AND if Pence is also compromised and they have to leave office, isn't Speaker of the House the third in the line of succession?

If you go by the Agnew-Nixon-Ford precedent, Pence could go first, Trump could nominate and the Senate could confirm a caretake (Mattis?), and then Trump resigns...

Well, things could take an amazing turn & I don't foresee it stalling as long as it has so far.
Ha! Would the Repubs shit if Pelosi ended up in the Oval Office.
Love it.
