Besides, we're already doing the silly shit people once feared from a Pence presidency. The threat of succession has lost it's edge.
Besides, now that the NYT OpEd is out, so long as the real author is not uncovered, opponents of Pence could always take a page from right wing birtherism and conspiracy theory playbook and keep alive the suspicion that he wrote it, and estrange him from trump’s base and keep him an even more worthless figurehead until he is in his own turn expelled.
