Here’s some wishful thinking that might even back up Scott Dworkin’s hope that Hillary Clinton will just “take over” and deal with Vladimir Putin once and for all. What, did she fix the translation on that “reset button?”
Here’s how it works: If President Trump is impeached for treason, then Vice President Mike Pence and all civil officers will be removed from office too, clearing the decks for President Hillary.
It’s an unverified account, but it’s racked up more than 22,000 likes since Tuesday:

Um, that’s not how any of this works.
This has nearly 10,000 retweets, but is based on a very bad misreading of the article https://t.co/rVvU65cE81

This is absolutely true in several of the Empire fanfic novels, but not generally accepted as canon in the larger Star Wars universe. https://t.co/fKvJhg7qIN

What Article II Section 4 actually says:
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Nice try, fraud. https://t.co/o7gJ7Egyvn

No, each has to be indicted, charged and prosecuted individually.

This is the second time I've seen this. ITS FALSE. That is the list of folks that can be impeached. You have to impeach them ONE AT A TIME. https://t.co/vehQdHY3oO

Hey, Twitter. Didn’t you just say that “fake news” is your number one priority right now?
Honestly, I’m almost impressed by the level of stupidity it takes to tweet this. https://t.co/wfXKCcxYSA

It says no such thing and this is pure fiction.
Judge this person's credibility moving forward based on this completely fabricated tweet. https://t.co/SVqajk2nsH

LOL no. You're an idiot, but hey you got massive action with this tweet.
Says more about the incurious, constitutionally illiterate idiots retweeting you than it does about you, however. https://t.co/F1GHdg0Elq

This tweet is a LIE. People have told him. I've asked him to delete it. He has not deleted & continues allowing LIE to be retweeted. Maybe he thinks retweet numbers are more important than truth. I'm tired of seeing this LIE. https://t.co/9oCMIXcJHM
