So we have the office vacant, since the entire line of succession (VP, Presidents of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies) resigned as well.

WTF is going on?
It’s called people fleeing for their lives to escape getting Allende’d

Also, I'll say it again, Piñera has both the duty and the (constitutional, legal and democratic) right to finish his term. Not only that, his resignation would not solve the crisis and would make the situation even worse, the last thing the country needs is a power vacuum.

I got to agree here. If he didn't break any law or failed to uphold his oath, then there's no reason for Pinera to be required to resign. And it wouldn't really accomplish anything positive. South America is becoming increasingly unstable and even Chile, with its remarkable history of transition to a functioning democracy, is not immune. I may not like Pinera, but the democratic legitimacy and government continuity must be respected.
The unjust use of force and state of emergency used on peaceful protesters isn’t enough for you?
