Spork3245 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Can a president “fire” a VP? Furthermore, can a president make his wife or chief of staff fire a VP for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, can a president make his wife or chief of staff fire a VP for him? He can ask him to resign. He can't outright fire the VP though. I'm sure when it comes to reelection, the President is under no legal/Constitutional obligation to use the existing VP as a running mate. The Party could simply say "Thanks, but no thanks" and nominate another VP candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump will nominate his own brain as his running mate, because he talks to it all the time and it's the best brain that knows very bigly words. The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxFan9 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Trump is going to pick a different VP in the next election People in Indiana are going to be miffed about Trump “firing” Pence but I’m going to enjoy every second of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Can a party choose not to nominate the Presidential candidate's running mate? So keep Trump but vote to nominate a different VP candidate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I am wondering - who could Trump bring in that would actually appeal to women voters? Just bringing in a woman is misogynistic in itself if they assume it will do the trick. It sure didn't work for Palin. The GOP has such a thin female bench anyway. God, I almost think Trump could want to bring in Ivanka. He won't, though. He will keep Pence in the end simply because he won't know how to actually get rid of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd just ghost him until the convention when the signs have somebody else's name. That night he will tweet trying to sound tough and in charge saying that Pence wasn't cutting it so he made the decision to make a change.

Kal-El814 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I’m surprised Mike Pence hasn’t resigned already.

SaysWho? Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 You know, regardless as to whether Pence will be VP as normally happens or Trump does something shocking again and dumps him, it's ironic that, if he dumped him, evangelicals would take Trump's side over Pence.

They'd justify with some kind of mental gymnastics. The easiest being "Pence is a good man, just not the right man for the position. Trump needs [__fill in blank___]".
