At this point I'd take SP over Pence. Ilsa Mar 2017 #18

I doubt there would be simultaneous impeachment proceedings, but what if they resigned at the same time, maybe because they wanted Ryan to take over? Although I don't think Trump really likes Ryan. We are in uncharted territory. Here there be dragons.

I did an OP about that but it wasn't flame worthy and thus it sank.

into a place where they will force Pence to accept a moderate Republican governor as Pence's VP.

If McConnel/Ryan play along, they don't get prosecuted.

And yes, that leaves Ryan, but the other two are worse. They are national security threats.

Then we'd get Orin Hatch. After Hatch, it's Tillerson, so forget e t about that.
