Impeachment

Here is a political item. I think I understand a lot of the political motives that goes on today. I can grasp the reasonings of the movers and shakers who are trying to shape politics to their likings. But there is something I can not grasp.

Trump had and Biden has a common cloud hanging over their heads, and the name of that cloud is (was) impeachment.

During Trump, Nancy Pelosi was foaming at the mouth while trying to impeach Trump. Thankfully, she did not succeed. But what I don't understand is if she would have succeeded and Trump might have been impeached, according to the constitution the Vice President becomes the President, and that would have been Mike Pence.

Mike Pence was just as much of a republican as Trump was. Did Pelosi hope that all Trump's policies were to be wiped off the books, and Pence was to dance to her tunes? I don't believe this. And to change the entire then current administration was not going to happen. So what was the point of the entire circus?

Now, the republicans want to impeach Biden. This is understandable, quid pro quo (impressive, ha?). But then laughing Kamala Harris would become president. What change would be brought about by such a difference in top management. Everything would remain the same.

A president usually chooses a vice president as a running mate because that person underwrites the president's policies and the president can rely on his vice president's support. So, why are they playing this game?
