What would stop the person who actually won the Presidency from just saying "fuck off."??? "Oh and BTW, here's an EO that declares it a vital national security matter that the VP be totally protected, so we're sending them to a heavily fortified base where they will be kept safely under lock and key."

Besides all that, it's not a viable route. " But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." does a lot of work here.
