I hope it happens.  Harris/[vacant] is better than Biden/Harris.

Wouldn't be vacant long.  A new one would be appointed soon. 

Office was vacant only 3 months after Nixon resigned.  (Nelson Rockefeller)

Given her record on the border crisis, Biden really should have thought ahead and made Kamala the “Afghanistan czar” too

I agree about one being in office soon.  President Harris will appoint a horrible Veep, and the Senate Republicans will roll over and confirm.  "New Tone."

VP requires Senate confirmation.  The Dems would only have 50 votes with no tie-breaker.  No VP until 2025.

In case anyone missed it (this was posted earlier in the forum)  --- CNN's Tapper grilling the Secy of State, Anthony Blinken  (Blinken needs to take responsibility for this fiasco as well!)  This is worth the watch.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I understand but disagree with those who felt we should leave Afghanistan; I cannot understand why it has been done with such tragic human cost; without an effective strategy to defend our partners; and with inestimable shock to our nation’s credibility, reliability, and honor.

Okay, but the point was whether Romney, Collins. et. al would vote for a new VPOTUS replacement if 25th amendment proceedings were passed against Biden.

Relevant section of the 25th Amendment:

Quote
2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Both Houses, and the Rats will confirm in both.  No defections required, but they'll get some from the usual suspects.
