.... because they got C-19 wouldn't Nancy Pelosi become President?
And would that not also prove the existence of a just God too?

I think they'd either have to crap out completely or be removed via the 25th amendment.

I want Trump to lose the election in the most humiliating way. If he got sick then gets to make people feel sorry for him.

Short of death, the 25th amendment would have to be used, stating that both POTUS and VP were incapacitated. Just as with Trump's clear cognitive and emotional decline, several cabinet members would have to sign off on it.
Before the 25th was enacted, it was up to POTUS's family to make the call. Sometimes, they just take over the job itself (Edith Wilson).

I'm not ashamed to wish ill on these 2 characters and have Madam President sworn in.
