ArtII.S4.1.1 Impeachment and Removal from Office: Overview
Article II, Section 4:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach and remove the President,1 Vice President, and all federal civil officers for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.2 This tool was inherited from English practice, in which Parliament impeached and convicted ministers and favorites of the Crown in a struggle for to rein in the Crown's power. Congress's power of impeachment is an important check on the executive and judicial branches, recognized by the Framers as a crucial tool for holding government officers accountable for violations of the law and abuses of power.3 Congress has most notably employed the impeachment tool against the President and federal judges, but all federal civil officers are subject to removal by impeachment.4 The practice of impeachment makes clear, however, that Members of Congress are not civil officers subject to impeachment and removal.5

It looks like Pelosi is trying to declare herself the President of the United States.
There's only days left until Trump's presidency ends. Yet Pelosi is obsessed with rushing an Impeachment through the House.
In the line of succession, normally Pence would become President. But Nancy Pelosi's angle is to simultaneously impeach Pence at the same time as Trump. Then the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi would declare herself President in the line of succession.

Why is Pelosi so obsessed with declaring herself the President in the line of succession? And would it end with Trump ? Or would she pull the same stunt with Biden and Harris when they are in office?
I'd be willing to bet Pelosi would try a similar stunt with Biden because I really don't think Pelosi's actions are to support her political party. I really think her actions are to vainly declare herself President.
