Truthfully I wouldn't be surprised if Obama got rid of Biden. However, I also wouldn't put it past him to run without a VP on the ticket. Obama thinks he is the know-all, end-all and he doesn't need anyone else.

Biden was given the position to keep him quiet, he didn't want Obama for the candidate...said he "wasn't ready." They promised Biden the VP position to shut him up. Obama never really cared to consult with or give any importance to Biden. He was left to flounder and make a fool of himself. So...this time why bother to have a VP at all? I just wouldn't be surprised if the Narcissist Occupier of the WH wants to change the rules. Dictators don't have and don't want a "spare." If Obama wants to do this, he will find a way around the requirements for a VP. Just like he has gone around Congress so many times during his tenure.

It is my understanding that the House of Representatives counts and confirms the Electoral college votes for President and the Senate counts and confirms the Electoral College votes for Vice President. If there are no electoral college votes for a Democrat Party candidate for VPOTUS then the Republican Party candidate will win the VPOTUS office because that candidate will have the most Electoral college votes for that office. It is possible to have a president and vice president from different parties, or from no established parties. It all depends on who can win the most electoral college votes. Right now though, the two main political parties have a lock on those EC votes and have had control of those votes for a rather long time.

“Biden was given the position to keep him quiet, he didn’t want Obama for the candidate...said he “wasn’t ready.” “

Biden was given the position because he was 1) white, 2) male, and 3) Catholic.

Worked on all fronts; don;t think it will work on any of them this time around.
