re: #270 Cheechako

Actually there is one way that Hillary could become President but it’s so far out that it’s off the charts and even then, even more far out.

If, and that’s a great big IF, the Republicans want to impeach trump/Pence, they will need Democrat votes in the Senate for conviction (convection requires a 2/3’s of the members present to vote for conviction).

In my wild scenario, the Democrats would require the House Republicans to appoint Hillary as Speaker before they will agree to vote for impeachment of trump/Pence. Thus, Hillary could be elevated to POTUS.

Again so far out as to be completely implausible.

Every last Republican in Congress would happily see the US destroyed by civil war or by a foreign invader before agreeing to that, so this scenario is indeed implausible.
