If number 1: If Trump is definitively found to have colluded directly with Russia, he would be forced to resign or be impeached.
If number 2: If Trump is removed, Vice President Mike Pence would become president.
If number 3: If Pence becomes president, he should resign too, given that he benefited from the same help from Mother Russia.
If number 4: If Pence resigns before appointing a vice president, Ryan would become president.
If number 5: If Ryan becomes president, he should do the right thing and choose Clinton for vice president. Then he should resign.
"The answer seems unavoidable: He should nominate the person defeated by the treason of his own party, and then step aside and let her become the president," Lessig writes. "Without doubt, if Ryan did the right thing, that would be the most extraordinary event in the history of America since the Confederate Army fired on Fort Sumter. But unlike that, this event would build the union, not divide it."
Lessig, who briefly ran for the Democratic nomination in 2015, adds that Clinton would then appoint Ryan to be veep out of political goodwill. Americans can only assume that while busy being a president who can read policy documents longer than one page, she'd stop her endless press tour and figure out how to keep the nation from getting nuked.

I've been wondering what that process would be. The left has been parading around like this would be a viable option.

I'm convinced that Democrats exist in an alternate reality than the rest of us. Holy shite.

Back when Mitt Romney lost in 2012, I wasn't sitting around dreaming up scenarios in which he would become President. I was over it the next day and moved on with my life. These people are awful. They need a hobby.

but there's still one very narrow, highly unlikely and entirely unprecedented way that Clinton could become president.
Ya think?

From the Newsweek Comment Section:
quote:
No one in their right mind would appoint Hillary VP. You would be asking to be murdered.
Let me propose something a little more plausible:
1) A termite colony near a remote Google server farm becomes self-aware;
2) They study humanity by intercepting internet traffic; 3) They learn about history, science, literature;
4) They come to believe Trump is an existential threat; 5) They feel compelled to overthrow humanity and install their queen as ruler of all.

What if all that happens the after Hillary is locked up?
Do we get McClown as President?
Do we get McClown as President?

this scenario is really unlikely, but if you end up with a ryan or hatch presidency, I wouldn't be surprised if they selected a moderate dem as their VP.

I can become President in only 2 of those steps.

And when it's shown that hillary, the DNC and obama colluded with the Russians via uranium sales then bernie becomes president.

Hillary thinks she will be President on, in her terms, CPT. DiBlasio agrees!
