No chance whatsoever

@copper that would get around the awkward issue of getting a “woman of color’ to resign.

[LuFins Dad]

Yeah, that would really help get us past election deniers…

Yea... if that's the alternative, keep the Ho.

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

[Mik]

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.

[Mik]

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

[Copper]

Michelle?

OK, maybe a chance

Oprah?

OK, maybe even more

Wait.

Stop.

She has to concede first, doesn't she?

Biden may be considering removing Kamala Harris as Vice President . . .

'whispers' of confirmation hearings in Congress.

Chad Pergram tells us he's been hearing whispers suggesting there could be some new high-profile confirmation hearings on the horizon . . .

Because the house does not confirm normal nominees. But it does confirm vice-presidential nominees.

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

been no secret she's been running out of favor with the Biden team,' he added.

reports over the weekend . . .

aides became frustrated with her awkward laugh, 'dysfunction and lack of focus,' and low approval rate of just 28 percent.

Pergram claimed he had been tipped by an email from a 'source,' but did not elaborate further.

I got a message recently from someone who knows Capitol Hill very well . . .

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.

Why bother?

Impeach 46!

(oh, wait, you'll have to impeach them both)

I'm not seeing a down side to that.

Depends on whether they have a Senate majority and how big it is...
