The cynic in me thinks Vance and the rest of the GOP are waiting until Jan 21, 2027, or shortly thereafter, to remove Trump.
That gives Vance a nearly two-year trial run, and the built-in incumbent advantage (as long as he can blame everything on Trump) in 2028. Being less than two years as replacement President also maintains his eligibility to run twice more.
If Vance takes over now, he can't run in 2032 (assuming they do enough fuckery that he's re-elected in 2028).
That’s actually been the plan since the beginning. A major component of the Dark Enlightenment is the mimetic theory of desire’s scapegoat mechanism.
