This is the way Donald.
edit: I wasn't aware that Pence had to be impeached and can't be fired, and that a new VP would have to be affirmed by the Senate. However, could the insurrection act offer a shortcut to that process in extremis?

That sucks. Damn.
He's a 'dankster'. They don't bother to know shit about anything.
No

VP isn't POTUS's subordinate. There's a line of succession, and they run on the same ticket so politically the President is in control, but officially they are both chiefs of entirely separate offices.
The Vice President is elected, not appointed. He cannot be fired. He can only be impeached and removed.
What’s the reason behind having the President and Vice President run together? Why not have the possibility for them to run separate campaigns? Is it just for the sake of having a backup of the same party in case something happens to the President?
Yeah, your last question answered it. The guy with the second highest number of votes used to become vice president, but as you can imagine, that might incentivize assassination or other issues.
Where are the Iranians when you need them? Nowhere to be found.
