Why keep a vice president around, who was appointed by someone worthy of impeachment?

[Pat Mustard]

The main argument I hear against impeaching someone like Trump, or Bush, or whatever, is that then we have whatever dipshit this guy picked as a vice president. Why? Why not the other major candidate of the rival party? Pence could be worse than Trump, mainly because he won't feel the need to go on a tweet storm, or have propaganda documents delivered to him every day to make himself feel better. But why keep him around at all? Why wouldn't he be promptly impeached as well?

Pence if he got in because of impeachment/retirement would most likely end up like Gerald Ford, a man so tainted by association with his predecessor and with no true base of his own that he ended up being an empty suit and lost heavily the next election.

There's that, and the VP was duly elected. Yes, when you vote for president, you're casting a vote for two offices. I think each should be elected separately, or throw the primaries open, then make the first runner up vice president.

That was actually the original system. It did not work, at all.

PS may I also point out that Pence as governor was as useless as a paper umbrella in a hurricane. In a state where the republitraitors have no opposition.
