== Skenario memungkinkan ==
=== Pengunduran diri ===
{{lihat pula|Pidato pengunduran diri Richard Nixon}}
The President of the United States can resign from office, in which case the Vice President would automatically become president, instead of merely assuming the powers and duties of the presidency as acting president. While Article II of the Constitution states that the "Powers and Duties" of the president devolve to the vice president in the event of the president's death, resignation, incapacity or removal, [[John Tyler]] interpreted that provision as allowing the Vice President to ascend to the presidency in such cases, without any qualifications. This practice was codified in 1967, with the passage of the 25th Amendment.
Presiden Amerika Serikat dapat mengundurkan diri dari jabatannya, dalam hal ini Wakil Presiden secara otomatis akan menjadi presiden, alih-alih hanya mengemban wewenang dan tugas kepresidenan sebagai penjabat presiden. Sedangkan Pasal II Konstitusi menyatakan bahwa "Wewenang dan Kewajiban" presiden diserahkan kepada wakil presiden jika presiden meninggal dunia, mengundurkan diri, tidak mampu atau dicopot, [[John Tyler]] menafsirkan ketentuan itu sebagai memperbolehkan Wakil Presiden untuk naik ke kursi kepresidenan dalam kasus seperti itu, tanpa kualifikasi apa pun. Praktik ini dikodifikasi pada tahun 1967, dengan berlalunya Amandemen ke-25.
<!--
If Trump were to resign, Vice President [[Mike Pence]] would become the 46th president of the United States; he would be the shortest-serving president ever, being in office for up to just {{Days Left|day=20|month=1|year=2021}} days before handing power to [[Joe Biden]] as the 47th president on January 20. This would surpass the record of [[William Henry Harrison]], who died 31 days into his term. It would be the second time in history that a president would be forced to resign; the first was the 1974 [[Richard Nixon's resignation speech|resignation]] of [[Richard Nixon]] when it appeared inevitable that he would be impeached and removed from office for his role in the [[Watergate scandal]].

Jika pemakzulan dan hukuman terjadi sebelum masa jabatan Trump berakhir, itu akan membuat Pence menjadi presiden ke-46 dengan segera, dan Trump sebagai presiden pertama dalam sejarah Amerika Serikat yang dihukum dalam persidangan pemakzulan. Karena Senat tidak dijadwalkan untuk berkumpul kembali hingga 19 Januari 2021,<ref>{{cite web|last=Haynes|first=Danielle|date=January 9, 2021|title=McConnell: Senate can't take up impeachment until Jan. 19|url=https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2021/01/09/McConnell-Senate-cant-take-up-impeachment-until-Jan-19/5821610209825/|agency=United Press International}}</ref> Diskusi telah berlangsung seputar kemungkinan menghukum Trump di Senat setelah dia meninggalkan jabatannya, membuka kemungkinan untuk secara permanen membatasi seorang mantan presiden terpidana dari pernah memegang jabatan publik. Namun, hal ini tidak pernah diuji secara konstitusional, kecuali untuk [[skandal pedagang pos]] tahun 1876, yang membuat Sekretaris Perang [[William W. Belknap]] dimakzulkan oleh DPR bahkan setelah dia sudah mengundurkan diri, meskipun dia dibebaskan oleh Senat.<ref name="Williams"/> Seperti pengunduran diri, Pence akan menjabat sebagai presiden dengan masa jabatan terpendek dalam sejarah Amerika jika Trump dihukum sebelum masa jabatannya berakhir sebelum menyerahkan kekuasaan kepada Biden sebagai presiden ke-47 pada 20 Januari.
If impeachment and conviction were to occur before Trump's term ends, it would make Pence the 46th president with immediate effect, and Trump the first president in United States history to be convicted in an impeachment trial. Because the Senate is not scheduled to reconvene until January 19, 2021,<ref>{{cite web|last=Haynes|first=Danielle|date=January 9, 2021|title=McConnell: Senate can't take up impeachment until Jan. 19|url=https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2021/01/09/McConnell-Senate-cant-take-up-impeachment-until-Jan-19/5821610209825/|agency=United Press International}}</ref> discussions have taken place around possibly convicting Trump in the Senate after he leaves office, leaving open the possibility of permanently restricting a convicted former president from ever holding public office. However, this has never been constitutionally tested, except for the 1876 [[trader post scandal]], which saw Secretary of War [[William W. Belknap]] impeached by the House even after he had already resigned, although he was acquitted by the Senate.<ref name="Williams"/> As with a resignation, Pence would serve as the shortest-tenured president in American history if Trump were convicted before his term ends before handing power to Biden as the 47th president on January 20.
