The Official 'How Long will Trump be president for?'

[MarillionFan]

There's no way he's going to do his full term. Either he's going to get involved in a scandal & have to step down, get assassinated or press the button at which point we're all dead anyway.

I reckon 90 days before the CIA shoot him.

Does the US constitution allow a snap election or anything similar or does the ruling party get the presidency for 4 years irregardless? If Trump is impeached/shot/gets bored or there is mass revolt are they then stuck with Pence until 2020?

You can't have a snap presidential election, mainly because the companies who fund the campaigns have to be able to write off their donations for 4 years.
If Trump is impeached, then it's Pence.
If the 25th amendment is used, it's also Pence, unless it can be proven that he, too, fails the 25th.
After that it's the speaker of the House of Representatives.

John Goodman. Or am I confusing The West Wing with reality.

In Battlestar Galactica the Secretary for Education became President because everybody else in the line of succession had been killed by The Cylons. We can only hope.
