In the House of Representatives?
Fox News host Jesse Watters implied that Biden may be considering removing Kamala Harris as Vice President after he said his network had heard 'whispers' of confirmation hearings in Congress.
'Our Capitol Hill Correspondent Chad Pergram tells us he's been hearing whispers suggesting there could be some new high-profile confirmation hearings on the horizon in the House of Representatives,' said Watters during the segment.
'Why is this a big deal? Because the house does not confirm normal nominees. But it does confirm vice-presidential nominees. Does this have something to do with Kamala Harris? It's been no secret she's been running out of favor with the Biden team,' he added.
The host touched on reports over the weekend that the Biden-Harris post-election bliss, had worn out as aides became frustrated with her awkward laugh, 'dysfunction and lack of focus,' and low approval rate of just 28 percent.
On Monday, Biden and Harris put up a united front when they stepped out of the White House together to sign the president's trillion-dollar infrastructure bill, after a CNN article on Sunday claimed that their relationship had soured.
Pergram claimed he had been tipped by an email from a 'source,' but did not elaborate further.
'There is a lot of conjecture right now about the future of Vice President Harris and her lagging poll numbers,' Pergram said after Watters welcomed him on the segment.
'So I got a message recently from someone who knows Capitol Hill very well and they suggested I should familiarize myself with the process to confirm a vacancy for the vice president in the Senate and in the House,' Pergram added.
He also mentioned that Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, who served under President Ford, was the last vice president confirmed by Congress.

Irritability is a side effect of dementia. He can't be easy to get along with.

What would be the grounds to call a confirmation hearing? The VP's resignation and/or untimely demise?

In the article:
According to the Constitution, a sitting vice president can only be removed from office if they die, resign, or are impeached and convicted - in which case, Congress would confirm a successor.

I could see her resigning. Probably 5% chance before the midterms.

She won't resign. What could they possibly offer her?

@copper that would get around the awkward issue of getting a “woman of color’ to resign.
Wait.
Stop.
She has to concede first, doesn't she?

WTH is a 'normal nominee'? And Harris is not a nominee.

Yeah, that's key. You can't find hardly anybody in Washington who knows Capitol Hill.
'There is a lot of conjecture right now . . .
Kind of like this hard-hitting journo-bombshell.

Most of us are old enough (in TNCR years) to remember the threads about Trump dumping Pence and Obama switching Joe out for Hilary.

That could certainly be the first order of business for the new Republican Congress in Jan 2023.
