Little overlooked fact that Congress gets to vote on VP replacement and it is not a simple majority but 2/3 vote. Get out the popcorn dear this will be a long slog.

Majority vote I believe?

“Twenty-Fifth Amendment
Section 1
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Section 2
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”
