Perhaps, being hardy denizens of the Great Frozen North, they just don't need one? ;-0)

Legitimate question here.
After Trump has been impeached, will Mike Pence automatically assume the Presidency?

While they are pretty warm, personally I think this makes them more miserable to be in during winter. Snow mostly just turns to wet muck which freezes at night. It’s damp and cool, and you can’t even have fun in the snow. Give me a real winter over that any day.

Nope, no way can those be termed "pretty warm", let alone "not real cold".

Anything below +15°C is "real cold"

And don't forget that having served your time as a "Permanent Resident", you have to be "Flag-poled" to become a Canadian :-)

First you need to read up on the term impeachment and the reasons for it to take place in the US.

Trump hasn't done anything yet, he won't even take office until January.

This will be interesting to watch .

I agree with this, but then we have to put up with this top-down economy theory for another 4 years. It hasn't worked yet,...not under the infamous Reagan, nor under Bushy. At least Obama brought us back from certain collapse (depression) to a reasonable good operating economy.

And yes he had to inject a lot of government money to save our system, but what was the alternative.

Duh !!! Nobody in the whole wide world knew that....except you KOM.
I'll make it an easier question to answer.
In 6 months time, after Trumps impeachment, is it automatic that Mike Pence will take over?Assuming of course that he hasn't already resigned at the time of the impeachment.
Is it a constitutional ascendency was my query.

sent to me just today via email....FUNNY

This is a tongue in cheek article by a purported Canadian journalist on
the illegal US liberal invasion of their country. It should not be read
by liberals, whose sensibilities are still too raw from the election to
laugh at SNL-like comedy usually aimed at conservatives but which has
been turned on them.

Meanwhile, From Canada...


by Tyler Durden


The flood of Trump-fearing American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week. The Republican presidential campaign is prompting an exodus among left-leaning Americans who fear they’ll soon be required to hunt, pray, pay taxes, and live according to the Constitution.
Canadian border residents say it’s not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, liberal arts majors, global-warming activists, and “green” energy proponents crossing their fields at night.
“I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,” said southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. “He was cold, exhausted and hungry, and begged me for a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn’t have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields, but they just stuck their fingers in their ears and kept coming. Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals just south of the border, pack them into electric cars, and drive them across the border, where they are simply left to fend for themselves after the battery dies.
“A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions,” an Alberta border patrolman said. “I found one carload without a single bottle of Perrier water, or any gemelli with shrimp and arugula. All they had was a nice little Napa Valley cabernet and some kale chips. When liberals are caught, they’re sent back across the border, often wailing that they fear persecution from Trump high-hairers.
Rumors are circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer, study the Constitution, and find jobs that actually contribute to the economy.
In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans in blue-hair wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the ’50s.
“If they can’t identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age,” an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage, are buying up all the Barbara Streisand CD’s, and are overloading the internet while downloading jazzercise apps to their cell phones.
“I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can’t support them,” an Ottawa resident said.“After all, how many art-history majors does one country need?"

'Fraid so, brianlara3. Just like for an assassination. However, the impeachment would require 2/3 votes for it --in both Houses--and although some forecasters have said Trump will be impeached, as remarked above, he won't be inaugurated till January, and then he would have to commit an impeachable offense. The usually conservative Supreme Court was somewhat to the left when the impeachment proceedings began against former President Nixon, back in '74 or so.

The Constitution of the USA has provisions for a lot of "replacements", to do you the courtesy of answering the question. I don't remember all of it, so i better quit here.

A very clear answer. Thanks Ann. I was wondering about, (but not only about) the Trump university proceeding presently before Justice Curiel which isn't likely to hand down a finding until well into his POTUS.
Interesting times huh?
Cheers Ann.

Yep, need to quit there since it is the house and senate that has the authority to impeach, USSC has nothing to do with it.
Bit of trivia. The only elected US president to be impeached was...
Bill Clinton!!!
History, a lot can be learned from it.

In case of loss of the president...

• The Vice President
  
• Speaker of the House
• President pro tempore of the Senate
• Secretary of State
• Secretary of the Treasury
• Secretary of Defense
• Attorney General
• Etc.
• Seeing as how the house and senate are both controlled by the republicans you democrats look to be up **** creek.
• Now can someone lock this thread or put it under political crap where it belongs

Andrew Johnson

Proceedings were started against Nixon, but he resigned before they concluded.

Nope, wrong. Reading is fundamental. Andrew Johnson was NOT elected. He succeeded Lincoln after Lincoln was assassinated. You know, just like I posted above.
Correct about Nixon though, he resigned but was not impeached.

Thank you but to be perfectly honest you did better than most. Typically the response is Nixon and not the least bit of knowledge of Johnson.
