What might result from a Bush or Cheney resignation?
Would it merely serve to further promote the illusion of an adversarial Democratic party? (intelligent answers only)

If Bush resigned Cheney would be President. If Cheney left Nancy Pelosi would be President. No Pardon possibility.
However Cheney could resign and Bush could appoint a third party who would be amenable to a pardon before Bush resigned.

It would no doubt , be a cause for mass celebration, his poll numbers bare this out.
Americans who support Bush have passively handed the keys of the kingdom to a pack of ravenous Oligarchs bent on world domination. Much to the delight of Bush and company, fear and the media/propaganda machine are not the only factors keeping the working classes from breaking free of their economic and psychological shackles. Ongoing "cultural wars" over issues like abortion distract ordinary Americans from important economic and foreign policy decisions, leaving the Oligarchs to their own devices. Convinced that their choices lie within dichotomous, false constructs, many Americans choose one of the false dichotomies and expend their energy fighting one another rather than aspiring to individual freedom, working to develop their potential as human beings, and allowing others to do the same.
In Bush's America, if you are not for the "war on terrorism", you are not a patriot. In this 1984-like atmosphere, it is no coincidence that a law that gives the federal government unchecked power to violate our civil liberties is called the Patriot Act. In Bush's vision of the "New American Century", whether you are American or not, you are either for or against the United States. There is no room for constructive dissent or challenge to the almighty "W". Bush's loyal subjects see the world in black and white, and support the illegal war in Iraq because they are terrified of being unpatriotic. Unwittingly, they pledge their allegiance to an ideology that enables the rich to maintain dominion over the poor and middle classes. Perverse use of the concept of "patriotism" ensures a steady supply of tax dollars and warm bodies to feed the war machine.

The chance of either or both of those resignations, is impossible, they enjoy the abuse of power. They are blinded by their own egos and, besides big business would not allow it to happen. Another loser would replace them, that would fall right back into the same program.

Nancy Pelosi would be President then. This would be the results, and under the present circumstances she couldn't do any worst then President Bush has during his reign.
