What might be the consequences if the president could fire the vice president?
They can't but, if the president could fire the vice president, this could mean that the person who is the vice president was not the person citizens voted for in the presidential elections. First, that could cause anger amongst people who would feel cheated/betrayed. Secondly, the president could carefully select who they wanted to be vice president so that the vice president agrees with everything the president says, giving more power to the president (turning the vice president into a 'puppet leader').

Can the Vice President be removed from office by the President?
No. If the President runs for a second term of office, he may name a different person as running mate provided the nomination convention approves, but he can not fire an elected vice president. A Vice-President can only be removed from office involuntarily by impeachment in the House of Representatives and conviction by the US Senate.
What officeholders could a president NOT dismiss?
A president can not dismiss an office holder with security of tenure. The office holder with security of tenure can only be removed in exceptional and specified circumstances.
Is the vice president in charge of NASA?
The Vice President is a Chairman for NASA.UPDATE: Not anymore. The Vice-President used to be the chairman of the National Space Council, which had the power to hire and fire top management at NASA and set their budget. But in 1993, the National Space Council was disbanded and merged into the National Science and Technology Council, which no longer has the power to hire and fire top NASA management. (And this new council is chaired by the President, no longer the Vice-President.) Now, the NASA Administrator and Deputy Administrators are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
Who can fire the presidential cabinet?
The president can hire and fire the members of the cabinet. When he hires the cabinet members, the senate has the authority to reject his nominees. Also, the Vice President can't be fired unless he is impeached by the House of Representatives.
What is the name of the bill that states the President cannot fire any cabinet member without the Senate's approval?
The cabinet serves at the pleasure of the president.
Why cant the president fire the vice president?
No, not during the term. The vice-president can be impeached by the House and then removed from office after a trial by the Senate. If a president runs for a second term, he can get a different running mate for his second run, if the nomination convention agrees.
Can the CEO fire the vice president?
I suppose this would depend on the organization. In many cases, the vice-presidents serve at the discretion of the CEO and can be asked to resign by the CEO.

teaching, banking, tree services, patrol officers, body guards, president, secratary, BILL GATES, and Vice President police, fire fighters
Can the US president fire the Speaker of the House of Representatives?
No the US president does not have the authority to do so. One of the hallmarks of the Federal system is that the three branches of government are independent. So the president (executive branch), Congress (legislative branch), and judges (judicial branch) basically have no power over one another. Instead, there's a system where each branch has some authority over each other branch. For example, Congress can impeach (fire) the president or a judge in extreme cases. And a president can veto Congress's legislation. Just to make it clear: the president isn't the boss of anyone in Congress, on the courts, or state officials, etc. General speaking, the big-name offices that the president is boss of are Vice-President (though the president can't fire the vice pres), Secretary of ______, and the military.
Can the president fire the attorney general?
He is not supposed to be able to do that. What the president can or cannot do and what he can get away with are different questions as you can see by reading the newspapers.
