Trump won't resign. If there is a move against Trump, it would be a 25th Amendment move, and Pence would be needed to make it happen.

But I don't see that in the cards.

Trump wouldn’t surrender. He’ll get re-elected and tell his critics to go f—k themselves.

Rivers, nay, lakes of blood await these shenanigans.

I'm starting to see it. They have the 67 Senators lined up, almost (I count 64-65). They also have a majority of the House--so impeachment is very close to a done deal.

They will need 2/3rds of the House (of those sitting and present, I believe) for a 25th Amendment move, but Trump will be under arrest for 27 days, martial law will be declared, Internet sites like this one will be shut down...enough time to put out lots of disinformation and sway the remaining congressmen. Worse case for them, they let the 25th amendment process slide and go for impeachment.

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
