GW Bush did about the same thing

I know. And that mess is ongoing. Doing it at chinas doorstep won't end the same way at all.
It would a lot quicker.

Do you really, really think China would fight the combined US/SK/Japanese militaries over North Korea? Especially when they are locked in a standoff with India over Bhutan and their southern neighbors over the South China seas? Or are you implying they would use nuclear weapons?

Can a president remove a vice president?

Oh man. Just imagine if someone tells Trump Pence wants his job.

Glad I said almost.

Is the Mooch ok? His twitter account hasn't changed.

Great question

Not as far as I know, since they're elected. They can be impeached, though.

Nope. Only thru impeachment by Congress can the VP be removed.

Of course, that doesn't mean Trump can't try...

Originally, VPs were from the other party, so I guess that makes sense.

Oh My God, can you imagine Trump with a Hillary VP?

I'm not sure we'll see a traditional large scale war in this case. It would escalate a lot quicker to nuclear.

China hates NK so don't worry about that. Worry about Seoul.

VPs have very little constitutional power. They break ties in the Senate and are first in line of succession. Am I missing anything? 99% of what the VP does is either by tradition, ceremonial, or diplomatic. It'd be easy to neuter a VP from another party (except in Senate ties).

But in general he'd be 10x as insane on Twitter, I'm sure.
