Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha welcomed their fourth child, Alec Neel Vance, born July 19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. President Donald Trump congratulated them on Truth Social. The birth makes Vance the first vice president to have a child in office in over 150 years (the last were Schuyler Colfax in 1870 and John C. Calhoun in 1829). The Vances’ other children are Ewan (9), Vivek (6), and Mirabel (4), who are kept largely out of the public eye.
US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha announced the birth of their fourth child, a son named Alec Neel Vance, born at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Alec Neel is the first child born to a sitting vice president in more than 150 years, joining siblings Ewan (2017), Vivek (2020), and Mirabel (2021). Vance, a former Marine and Yale Law School graduate, has long urged higher birth rates, and the arrival comes amid a mini baby boom among Trump administration officials.
The Twenty-Fifth Amendment provides a process for replacing a president who is unable to discharge the duties of office: the vice president and a majority of the executive department heads can declare the president incapacitated, making the vice president the acting president; the president can contest this, and Congress then has 21 days to decide by a two-thirds vote to remove him. In practice, invoking it against a sitting president (as discussed with Trump) is uncertain, requires broad cabinet support (eight of 15 principal officers), and would be temporary; impeachment remains the constitutional route to remove a president.
Despite cross‑party calls to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump, the path remains highly unlikely: it requires the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet (Congress does not initiate it) and Pence is not expected to trigger it; past uses by Reagan and Bush were for health-related handoffs, and there is no established congressional body designated to act under the amendment.
As the Iran conflict stretches on, Vice President JD Vance has offered a notably restrained public stance, refraining from strong personal commentary and frequently echoing the president’s perspective.
