(CNN) — Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff — deciding there simply isn’t time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying political concerns.
The exasperation runs both ways. Interviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors and outside advisers — who spoke extensively to CNN — reveal a complex reality inside the White House. Many in the vice president’s circle fume that she’s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined. The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she’s able to do politically. And those around her remain wary of even hinting at future political ambitions, with Biden’s team highly attuned to signs of disloyalty, particularly from the vice president.
Defenders and people who care for Harris are getting frantic. When they’re annoyed, some pass around a recent Onion story mocking her lack of more substantive work, one with the headline, “White House Urges Kamala Harris To Sit At Computer All Day In Case Emails Come Through.” When they’re depressed, they bat down the Aaron Sorkin-style rumor that Biden might try to replace her by nominating her to a Supreme Court vacancy. That chatter has already reached top levels of the Biden orbit, according to one person who’s heard it.

Better to send her to Iran as a dog trainer.
what are the rules for choosing another VP?

When the office of Vice President becomes vacant for any reason, the President nominates a successor, who must be confirmed by a majority vote of both ...

The VP office is a completely independent power base. The President cannot fire or in any way remove the Vice President. A VP can only be removed through the Congressional impeachment process.
If it’s true VP Harris is being considered for SCOTUS, the analysis may be wrong. Far from under the bus, that may have been the plan all along.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
With the limp GOP in the Senate I think this is very possible. I also believe your assessment is spot on that this was the plan from the start. Of course the GOP would vote for her because doing otherwise would be RACCCCCCCIST
Lord, please no.
As VP (or as President if Biden resigns), we are only stuck with the cackling idiot for two more years. Give her a lifetime appointment and we will be stuck with her to 40 years or more.
All white men on supreme court need to triple their guards, employ food tasters, and find defensive drivers.
He is ineligible to be voted in to a 3rd term as pres.
I’m talking v.p. first, by appointment not election
Then after Joe 25thed
appointed to pres, not elected
Uncharted constitutional waters and that whole nightmare.
Cases of booze?
Pfft, I’ll have to move into a bar.
/-)
This probably fake news.
open spot? Weren’t they thinking of expanding the court? Cue the Mexican bandit.....we don’t need no stinking open spots!
They might as well nominate 0bammy for a SCOTUS seat. Or maybe they could job-share the appointment. /s
Kameltoe Harris? Heelsup in the USSC? Why not just tell the House to Impeach her for sleeping on the job, or for being an abject idiot? This would be a Cluster-Foxtrot of the lowest order.
BINGO!.......................
A VP can only be removed through the Congressional impeachment process
So the survival of my liver depends on dems and assistant dems
in con gress ?
Rug roh.
The POTUS nominates a new VP and they must be approved by the Senate just like any other nominee for high office.........
Trying to put her on the SC would be the equal to that nitwit Bush trying to put that equally unqualified Miers. Harris is a bridge to far for even the psycho dems.
Oh what about the trans guy? That might really frighten everyone. :)
Don’t bet on it....................

On the other hand, it is an independent power base with no actual power, other than casting tie breaking votes in the Senate. Historically, that rarely ever comes up, except when you have a 50/50 split in the Senate like you do now. Any other authority given to the VP (including all authority in the executive branch) is purely at the discretion of the President.
If the President dies (or becomes incapacitated), then the VP automatically becomes President (or acting President) and is no longer acting as VP.
Not Obama, he can’t be President per the constitution
/\
Nancy “ deemed” him vetted and a non citizen was put in office
Constitutional law went out the window in 2008 and hasn’t been seen or looked at since.
They do what they want.
