Trump I can see a path towards impeaching, but not Vance. Which means there's a depressingly good argument to be made that with congress' support cut off, it may be more beneficial to take a "dont assassinate Hitler" approach; something like:

"Right now trump is an incredibly tempting scapegoat for the R's to save face with most of their base: pin the comically humiliating handling of the Iran war on trump and his close associates (what their base is most offended by), say you regret it's necessity but you must remove him to preserve America's imperialist interests, he's just deteriorated too much from the great man and you need to preserve his legacy while something still remains of it, replace him with JD who despite being an evil couchfucking fascist creep is capable of appointing competently bureaucratic evil bastards rather than trump's carousel of dribbling morons and watch as they tear down everything the possibly can in preparation for 2028."

I don't know if leaving trump there to blunder as a humiliatingly incompetent and hopefully nutered stone 'round their neck is a good call - I don't think anyone knows how this will go and what approach will be the best for preventing further damage to the country. For now I fear the best we can do is plan for damage mitigation as the response rolls out from the fash, and work out a more specific strategy as things settle.
