Correct me if I'm wrong, but the President is free to choose his VP - there is no need for congressional confirmation for VP.

Bob Dole doesn't have VP of the US on his resume because the Dem Senate would not give Ford the guy he really wanted so Dole was not nominated.

The VP is a Constitutional Office-- Bush couldn't replace him even if he wanted.

VP is not a staffer to the President.

It's entirely separate.
