    Could he then be nominated Speaker of the House, and then have the President and Vice-President resign?

      Not without Supreme Court fuckery. As it stands, he’d be eligible to serve as Speaker, but he’d be skipped in the line of succession if it were applicable.

      Of course, trusting the Supreme Court to actually follow the rules seems naive at best these days.
