RFK Jr would be on the ticket. That means nobody’s really voting for him they’re voting for Trump and RFK Jr would be the VP but Trump could still fire the VP. Or am I completely off of my understanding?

Seems to me if the VP was running on a VP ticket he would be stuck with him but if he’s selected and they win together he can unseat him the next day.

Just throwing that bone out there.

It ain’t going to happen but y’all sound like you need something to gnaw on. anyway...

It’s not like a cabinet office. A president cannot fire a vice president. When electoral votes are cast, they are cast for the president and for the vice president separately. So the VP has his own independent claim to the office.

The only way to forcibly remove a sitting VP is by the impeachment process.

The President can’t fire the VP. They are both elected to office.
