It’s not an appeal to Congress. A US president has to have a VP, there’s no way round it. If Trump dumps Vance, whoever he picks to replace him has to be approved by a majority of both Houses. 25th Amendment.

Hadn't thought of that, thanks for the short hairs.
Vance looks a lot more secure given that whomever his replacement would be would likely be much less radical and therefore unacceptable to Trump.
