I beg to differ.
She is the elected Vice President. The President can ask for her resignation, but she does not have to comply. His only other option is to convince the House to impeach, and the senate to convict.
The fact that the President and Vice President run as a team is a product of our political system. But that does not negate the fact that she is elected.
