I'm actually somewhat afraid that an assassin might hit Trump. Vance is much younger (so the chances of dying of old age in office are very low), just as bad if not even worse (he seems to loathe Europe with a passion, Trump is more indifferent in that regard) and an assassinated Trump would easily be sold by Republicans as him being a martyr and sweeping the election due to this when it looks increasingly that the opposite will happen.

Does impeachment also mean Vance gets in power? Yeah it does and impeachment would also make a martyr out of him to his base.

Is there no way to trigger early elections in the US? (Can't find any info on that)


So it's 4 more years of Trump/Vance wrecking the world or armed insurrection, monumental fuck up. No working checks and balances in the US.

No. Regardless of the circumstances, U.S. presidential elections can never be held outside of the first Tuesday of every fourth November. There are no special elections or anything like that for the president. The vice-president becomes acting president for the remainder of the outgoing president's term, and Congress appoints a new vice-president (who must be approved by both houses of Congress.)
