Will Mike Pence Be Impeached or Resign Amid Russia Probe on tRump?

[ffr]

President Donald tRump isn’t the only White House official who might worry about impeachment as the probe widens into possible collusion between his election campaign and Russia.

Vice President Mike Pence was reportedly among senior officials involved in the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, which is the basis for the allegation that tRump obstructed justice. tRump wrote a memo stating the reason for firing Comey was to shut down the Russia investigation, and he read it to Pence and close officials before scrapping it. That means Pence likely knew tRump’s real motivation for canning Comey, but publicly backed tRump’s cover story the next day.

Like the president, the vice president can be impeached if the majority of House of Representatives members vote to start the proceedings and two-thirds of the Senate vote to convict.

No vice president has ever been impeached. Pence would also have the option to resign.

Two vice presidents have gone that route. Spiro Agnew, who served under former President Richard Nixon, resigned after being charged with bribery, conspiracy, extortion and tax fraud. And John C. Calhoun resigned after President Andrew Jackson chose a different running mate for his second term. - Newsweek

3. Good question !

Certainly you know Trump was not looking for an honest politician to fill the position. Sure one can look back in history to establish similarities, however one must not lose sight of the fact that what this is all about is in a category all it's own. Trump goes than so does Pence. Christie now, he saw a way into the oval office through the back door. That's the one where you keep reading about the republicans holding out to get as much as they can out of it before the wheels fall off the wagon and from there they see enter president Pence. Christie no doubt figured Trump would inevitably run himself out of office thereby leaving the door to the oval office wide open for his entry.

Recently of course president Obama talked about the fragility of democracy and Jimmy Carter made mention of Trump's recklessness regarding Israel .

I think the Trump administration will be removed -ousted because really, they can't patch it all back together like humpty dumpty.See what I mean, president Pence ,all fixed. Isn't that rediculous? A fix on crutch just isn't about to fly this time for those republicans.
But that's just my opinion. !
