Best case scenario? tRump Pence Ryan (Fording)?
Best case?
tRump & Pence get purged simultaneously and Ryan gets forced into Presidency. Amendment 25 wouldn't apply if both Pres & VP simultaneously resign. So then the order of succession would apply.
Ryan would have to resign as Pres or run in 2020 like Gerald Ford ran in 1976 and lost. If he stayed through 2018 he might have a Congress against him.
Well, I'm sure creative minds at DU can come up with better cases.
