CTL,
1. A Senate conviction is tantamount to removal so I did not differentiate.
2. I think that you mean “does not pull a Gerry” (names are capitalized and Ford’s full first name was “Gerald”). You should also have capitalized “the” as it begins a sentence.
3. I don’t mind Pence becoming President.
Joseph, that would be a demotion. “The Donald” means that he is the one and only (IMHO Ivana Trump, who coined it, was overcompensating for the Czech language not having a definite article except for emphasis – or maybe she wanted to emphasize his name). “King Donald I” means that there will be more.
