So Trump will have to find another fox to guard that particular henhouse?

Adams managed to rise above it, though.

You might call it OJT.

It should be kept in mind that when John Adams was Vice President the position was filled by whomever finished second in the balloting. Imagine Hillary Clinton as the Vice President today.

Genius, we wouldn't have Betsy as secretary of education.

There is actually one way that Trump can relieve Pence from the post of VP. :D

I can think of at least three or four ways.

Resign (e.g. Richard M. Nixon)

Die (e.g. William H. Harrison)

Impeachment in the House followed by conviction in the Senate (unprecedented)

Incapacity (NEW)

ETA: Upon reconsideration, that last one doesn't technically promote the VP to President.

When I wrote "how Trump can relieve", I only considered ways due to conscious actions by Trump. I forgot about "suicide", as a subset of "die" per your list. :) Anyways, give the man another cheeseburger!
 
I am betting that after today's Superme Court Deciision on immigration, Trump is asking if there is a way he can fire Goresuch.

That's what I love about SCOTUS. These guys can pretty much let their conscience be their guide and they owe the President that nominated them nothing. So, you get these cases that break the other way. And while the last 4 Chief Justices were appointed by Republicans Warren appointed by Eisenhower voted very often with the more liberal side of the court and Roberts upheld Obamacare with his vote.

Had to Google that. It's hard to keep up when your boss has the attention span of a two-year-old.

She's never been a great fit for this admin anyhow, being brown, female, and an anchor baby.

I've not really followed her, but I had some respect for her until she took this job. That line earned her back a bit of that respect.
