Was going to ask what the charges were. Found the synopsis.

  1. Willful refusal to uphold immigration laws.
  2. Breach of public trust: “knowingly misled the public and Congress about the physical and cognitive well-being of the President”.

Um...didn't Joe Biden say he'd consider stepping down if he got sick, then he tested positive for Covid and then stepped down from running. She didn't know he had Covid until he did. Also the VP shouldn't be able to decide if the Presidnet is fit to serve, that's a conflict. There's an amendment for that if they want to force Biden to step down as President and for Harris to become President for the rest of his term.

Does the VP uphold immigration laws? Does the VP do anything other than exist in case the Present dies and break ties in the Senate.
