I have some naive questions that demonstrate that I did not take AP US Govt and Politics.

1. Can the President fire a sitting Vice President?

2. What intrinsic power does the office of VP really have other than presiding over the US Senate and being next in line for President?

The reason I ask is, couldn't Obama name her as VP if 'forced' to, but still marginalize her if he didn't want her to meddle in his government?
