The fun starts if the President says “Hey, I’m alive—no thanks to the WH doctors who tried to kill me. I saw their eyes turn into reptilian eyes. We must fight this reptilian invasion with all of our forces. The place I am going to start is with you, Madame Vice President. You are fired.”

The President cannot fire the VP. The VP is elected to office.
Found the mechanism for firing the Vice President?
