I side with Kant in choosing principle over pragmatism. If Trump committed an impeachable offense, and evidence surfaces, then i want to see that constitutional process take place. Who replaces him should not dictate the process of the law to my mind.
Institutional integrity matters.
And on that note, it's worth noting that Sessions recused himself from all matters pertaining both to the Russia investigation and the Clinton email affair. And then called for Comey's firing. Perhaps the sounds that came out of his mouth in recusing himself were mistakenly interpreted as words in the English language, and he was actually emitting random noises.
