Do you mean the base board? It is better if you can remove the base board then reattach on top of the new floor. It will give you the best look. If you butt the new wood up against the base boards you may have end cuts or little mistakes around the edges of the room that you will need to cover anyway. If you can not remove the base board you will probably have to add a strip of quarter round on top of the new floor and nailed to the original base board so that you have a finished look.

Can a cushion vinyl floor be laid over another cushion vinyl floor?
It is possible, but it's not the best practice. If you can easily remove the existing vinyl, then do so. If the vinyl won't peel up, then you should consider two possibilities: Remove the vinyl along with the wood underlayment (or scrape it off if your subfloor is concrete), or install new wood underlayment on top of the existing vinyl.A third possibility is this: If the existing vinyl is securely glued to the floor, you could apply an embossing leveler (cement-based product) in a very thin skim coat over the vinyl. This seals in any stains, levels the floor, and gives the new vinyl a nice, smooth surface to lay over (or a good surface for vinyl glue to adhere to).Most flooring manufacturers will not honor the warranty on their vinyl if it is installed over existing vinyl, unless you do the embossing leveler step above.
