Any plans for impeaching or the post-Trump world have to include plans for how to impeach a Vice President. I don’t know the answer, I’m a new American and have been studying up on the Constitution and its history but I’m not there yet. But, yeah, any discussion about removing Trump has to include removing Vance.

Only way I can see doing it is 25th Amendment to remove the incapacitated President (assuming “VP and majority of cabinet” agree).
Then the VP becomes president. Then s/he/they appoint somebody to be the new VP.
Once that’s settled, then you pull a second 25th amendment to declare the now new-President (former VP) incapacitated. and if new-VP & majority of cabinet agree, then the (old) VP is now out. New-VP becomes New-P 2.0 and that person appoints a new-VP 2.0
So, while it’s blatantly obvious that the Orange One is suffering from dementia (he can’t even remember what agreements he signed, plus can’t make complete thoughts, and somehow thinks that a few hundred lbs of fentanyl coming INTO Canada FROM the USA is somehow thousands of ibs coming from Canada to USA and worth billions of dollars of tariffs and damaged economic systems in two countries + 1,000’s of people’s lives all turned asunder — I doubt the current cabinet would dare do it (unless somebody finds something that they are more scared of than him!).
And then, can you say that JDV is incapacitated? That’s actually not defined in the Constitution but I strongly suspect that he would pass any medical test that could declare him of unsound mind — bat shit crazy political views, but that’s not the same as “unsound.” :-(
