After seeing one questionable old, old yearbook picture, Nancy Pelosi takes less than a day to determine that Governor Northam must resign.
After two years of investigations that have lead to several indictments, convictions and guilty pleas by Trump associates including clear evidence of financial impropriety, Pelosi still needs some official Mueller report to take a vote on impeachment which only initiates a trial of Trump.
It is a fair point you are making, but the difference of course is that Northam is just a governor, not the President of the United States. Have to be MUCH more careful and measured when considering removing the President. With regard toe Pelosi, she's playing for the home run, and that is to get Trump out of office...because he's a criminal and deserves it.
Trump will resign. That is Pelosi's end game. Why would he resign, and not fight it out to the end? Money.
If a president resigns they get a full pension, plus all the perks that come with that – paid for office and expenses, paid for staff, paid for medical, paid for secret service protection.
If a president is impeach they would lose the above benefits.
