If Trump does get impeached & removed, what happens next..? “FACTUAL HYPOTHESIS”

If the hypothetical *does* happen. Trump gets impeached, removed from office… what happens to the rest of his presidency??

Factually… what happens? Does J.D. Vance take over as the president for the rest of his term? Like that’s 3 years…

Or, do they hold an emergency early election before this?

I’m thinking similar to when Nixon left office. But then again he resigned early and it wasn’t the same as now… 1/4 years of a term… would they be able to hold the election? Or would J.D. be the President in this scenario

Also: this is just about the facts. I’m not interested in the “it’s not going to happen” conversation - I’m just curious about the “what if” context.

You can basically do it the American way... meaning, you let the vice-president do his job or organise an election. The next guy won't ask for anny accountability OR dress pretend to strive towards accountability in the moment and then forget all about it later. Which is basically what happened when the confederacy lost and Nixon left office.

The problem is, that this isn't about Trump. It's about:

1. A far-right movement that is sponsered by corporate interests and backed up by a propaganda-apperatus that want to push for something America was before the civil rights act.
2. A segment of the poppulation that is detached from reality and have reduced themselves to the mentality of fantics.

These things will not go away, untill you leave the American way behind. There needs to be accountability (including jail time), the propaganda machine needs to be dismantled and people need to be pulled out of right-wing fantasy land. This needs to be done in a short-term project, and a long term project where schools upgrade their classes in media-awarness and civic classes that are detached from "nationalist" myths.
