Not terribly much, actually. At least if it kicks the bucket relatively soon.
In that case, JD Vance will automatically become the president, which is a horrible thing itself, but since he won’t be able to consolidate power very efficiently, there’s a good chance there will be presidential elections around when the 2025 presidential term ends, and then a president gets voted in, just as always.
Of course, that will either mean that a lot of Republicans will end up in jail. And if that does not happen, the whole political system will lose its credibility and all of USA gets massively destabilised.
But there are rules and if the new leadership bothers following them, things will roll as well or badly as they were rolling until 2024.
