The greatest benefit will be to get Hillary fired from her non-elected office of Master Meddler!

Actually, it all depends on timing. After the VP, the Speaker is next in succession. But if the VP is forced to resign, or if the VP ascends to the presidency, a new VP is named and confirmed. (That is how an unelected Gerry Ford rose to be president -- he was named to succeed the resigned Spiro Agnew and then replaced Nixon). So, assuming there were some terrible disclosure about Gore; he and Clinton would have to leave office simultaneously, or without appointing a new VP, in order for Newt to succeed.
