    They could always say that JD is officially on the ticket, but he is going to resign day 1 and let RFK Jr. have the job…

      I’m not entirely sure that the president can simply appoint a new VP once they’re in office, since VP is an elected position.

      It’s a fascinating question, and I hope that there’s never any reason to see it answered.

        Agnew resigned. Nixon nominated Ford to replace. Congress approved the nomination. Ford became vp and became president when Nixon resigned. Ford repeated the process FOR whomever he selected for VP.
