It looks like we may be getting close:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal

Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of

Reports from Whitehouse insiders indicate that Trump's behavior is
growing increasingly eratic and unhinged. That's obviously a
dangerous situation. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we get
through to inaugaration without major incident.

I don't see Pence leading that charge. He's spineless. Trump is there to
stay until Biden takes over next month or sooner if he is afraid to
leave without a Pence POTUS pardon in his pocket.

All the more reason to resign.

Though he has none of his own, Trump may be depending on Biden's basic
decency to avoid federal prosecution, or he will try to pardon himself.

Trying to prosecute a President for what he did in office, will open up a
huge can of worms. Maybe even get lots of the Legislative Branch tossed.
People will say, where were the checks and balances? You people failed!
So we want you gone and maybe even prosecuted.

I have more confidence in the Attorney General of New York State, where
Trump's state crimes are not pardonable by a POTUS. It would be a grin
to see NYS Troopers waiting outside Trump Tower with an arrest warrant
for the Trumpster. If I were the arraigning judge, I would refuse Trump
bail, since Trump has the bucks and an airplane to flee to a country
with no extradition treaty with the United States.

It is a long way from an accusation to a conviction. I hope you are
not going to be too disappointed if Trump just pays a fine and walks
away.

I am also not sure why the 14th amendment does not extend a
presidential pardon down to the states. It is certainly an "Immunity".
The 14th amendment made a lot of the language in the original document
referring to federal powers, include the states.
It would just depend on how Pence words it.

And Trump may also get NY pols in trouble. Where was the alleged crime,
that they tried get all his bank records? If they can not come up with a
valid reason, all will be tossed and maybe even lawsuits against NY for
illegal search.
