I'd like to know what the process is to get rid of a vice president and simply install a new one without the people voting on it. That just doesn't make sense to me.
It happened under Nixon. VP Agnew got caught in a scandal and had to step down, at which point Gerald Ford was appointed VP. Then Nixon resigned, Ford became President and appointed Nelson Rockefeller as his VP. All of this happened without a single vote being cast.
Rockefeller was instrumental in getting the 25th Amendment passed. Once he became VP, two conspicuously public assassinations were attempted against Ford. Rockefeller badly wanted to be President but he knew he was unelectable.
25th Amendment of the United States of America.
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.
The "vote" in this case is only in the House and Senate, not the People.
An interesting note however, is if Haris leaves and Biden nominates a new VP canidate, the Senate (currently) would be 50-50 with no tie breaker.
Go tell that to Romney.
Checkout what happened with Spiro Agnew. The situation is pretty much the same.
Blackmail, extortion....The idea would be for KH to resign 'willingly '.
Threats work well.
