Will Paul Ryan move to impeach Trump in 2017 or 2018?

| So - exactly how soon before Paul Ryan moves for impeachment of both trump and pence. Thinking he is just waiting until Trumps numbers tank and the evidence of Russian/Trump collusion gets solid enough to tarnish the whole ticket. If, in the meantime, Trump just happens to violate a couple of other clauses in the constitution - so much the better. Then Paul Ryan assumes the presidency (speaker of the house is third in line of succession) without ever having to run for office. He simply just has to wait long enough to get evidence that damns both trump and pence. Maybe get pence for knowing but not reporting? What did pence know and when did he known it? If Ryan becomes president, can he pick his own vice president. Or is it 4th in line of succession. Heaven help me, that is starting to look like a good outcome. The plus side of Trump's choice of appointees is that churn will be substantial and fired/burned friends will leak like a fire hose. |

| Six months. I do not think Pence will be impeached but he will be a figurehead and Ryan is the power behind the throne. I also think that as soon as Putin leaks tapes, Trump will be stripped of all power before impeachment. I think k the ground swell against Congress will be so great that Trump will not be given the option to resign. The people want blood. |

OP I have been wondering the same thing. I do think they are waiting until the have enough dirt on Pence, and perhaps getting ACA right where they want it before he takes over the presidency.
Who would be speaker of the house if Ryan becomes potus? |

| What dirt on Pence? On what grounds would they impeach him? Trump - I totally get. |

I would imagine on grounds that he knew about Russian collaboration and alerted no one |

Is there any evidence that Pence knew this? |

No, but if Trump is guilty of treason, and if Pence has been doing much of the work traditionally done by the president (which we can infer he has given what Kasich said), it isn't a big leap to think he might have known about it. |

| Could Pence just choose anyone as VP? No approval process? |

Yes. He can choose. |

They might not end up finding enough on Pence. But I think they are currently trying to find out if there's grounds for impeaching him as well. |

Ryan would happier than a pig in shit if Mike Pence became President. Ryan would gladly become VP, and he would backfill his house seat with Scott Walker.
It's as if it's been part of the plan. |

No - his choice must get majority vote in house and senate |
