Asking out of ignorance: can a standing president fire his/her VP?

[no_hypocrisy]

So I learned that Trump could fire Sessions, his attorney general.

Is the VP locked in and can only be removed by impeachment?

1. No. The vice president was elected by the people.

The answer to the title question is "no." The answer to the question in the message body is "yes."

In other words, if Pence had a sudden epiphany and came to his senses, totally reversed his political ideology, and announced to the public that he was leaving the Republican Party and becoming a Democrat, he could single-handedly save our nation from the systematic destruction it's going through now.

But if he does, he probably should advise the Secret Service first.

P. S. - George W. Bush apparently didn't know this because he once made a casual comment about whether he would decide to keep Dick Cheney as his vice president.

P. P. S. - The president and vice president don't have to belong to the same party. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican but his vice president was a Democrat.

2. it's an elected position, he can't be fired.

impeached, yes.

also, should benedict donald run for re-election (killl me now), he could choose to do with someone else *cough*vanka*cough*
