... but per Section 2 of the 25th Amendment, both houses of Congress must approve that choice before the Vice President can take office.
And if the President is impeached before that approval can be obtained, the Speaker of the House becomes President.

ensure that impeachment (conviction) fails in the senate, we will try to force the situation to replace a republican president with a democratic one.
that will absolutely GUARANTEE that the republicans will nullify the proceedings. there would be a bigger issue at stake... the loss of an elected presidency by the party.
such actions would burn partisanship so firmly into our political scene that we might never recover!
