Biden can then appoint Hillary Clinton as VP, then resign so that she will get to be president before Donald does. Trump will end up shi++ing bricks.

But I think she would have to be confirmed.

Not sure. All my civic knowledge I obtained from The West Wing tv show.

it takes majority votes of both Houses of Congress according to the 25th amendment. If Congress can leave a SCOTUS vacancy for months I doubt they would be rushing to confirm a new VP in a few days, particularly with Paul Ryan being the next in line for presidential succession.
