No, but his very presence in the office put us in constant danger that he might become president; pre-emptive action would have been justified. (Remember the “Pray for the President’s health!” posters?)
True, though probably not while VP; he did more damage in his subsequent Senate career. Fun fact: AFAIK, Calhoun was the only person to serve as VPOTUS under two separately elected presidents (John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson).

It gets down to one word at a time and even then he has problems.
I thought he added an E. I didn’t know he capitalized the word as well.
George Clinton was VP for Jefferson and Madison, though they were of the same party.
Can Congress put a statutory restriction on the President’s constitutional authority under Amendment 25?
If they did, he’d just issue a signing statement. . . .
