Hypothetical situation - Can it happen:
Let's say Trump AND Pence are impeached and removed from office by the Senate.
Let's call this R day.
R + 1: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi takes the Oath of Office and becomes the 46th president of the USA
(does the Constitution say she has to quit her office as Congressman for Northern California?)
R + 2: President Nancy Pelosi nominates Hilary as VP
R + 3: Hilary takes the oath of office as VP
R + 4: President Nancy Pelosi resigns as president of the USA and returns to the house as Speaker
R + 5: Hilary is sworn in as the 47th president of the USA.
