Goodbye Trump/Pence! Hello President Paul Ryan! …or President Pelosi?!?

President Paul Ryan?
The thick, thick irony of it all. The man who never wanted to take the relatively thankless and difficult job as Speaker of the House because he wanted to become President one day may yet become the 46th President of the United States of America afterall.
Allow me to explain. In short, there is a line of succession for the office of the President. First in line is the Vice-President - in this case Mike Pence. The thing is that Mike Pence has a few legal problems -like his boss President Trump. He’s hired outside legal counsel, but that really doesn’t protect him from impeachment because impeachment is really a political act of Congress. The true calculus being made by the Republicans is how damaged Trump and Pence will get throughout the course of this Special Counsel Investigation. Will they be able to withstand the eventual public disclosures into their actions during the 2016 campaign, and post-election actions regarding their handling of the numerous and varied FBI investigations into multiple members of their administration?
