Good point.
She is the elected Vice President. It’s not like “they” can just tell her to step aside. Biden can’t just “fire” her.
Many are under the mistaken notion that the VP serves at the pleasure of the President. The VP has Constitutional duties. First is to preside over the Senate. Second is to be President if the President is Constitutionally removed or dies.
Just like POTUS, she would first have to be impeached by the House, tried and convicted by the Senate, then removed.
That is the problem with all Vice Presidents. They can go from being a rather insignificant entity to the most powerful person on the Planet in a heart beat. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Does he take out someone before they take him out with the 25th amendment or does he "trust" her?
