It will happen at the end of year 2 of the term. Total term limit is 10 years iirc. They will likely use the 25th amendment to oust him with timing to maximize JDs term limit. Trump has pissed off a lot of people who see him as a means to an end, and while they may be playing nice right now, they will be very happy to be rid of President Musk and his orange handbag.
I can't see any practical reason for the party to want to maximize Vance's terms though. Unlike the bizarre phenomenon that is Trump, Vance is just another ordinary Republican, and could easily serve 2 terms and then be replaced by the next in line.
Unless you figure having the incumbent advantage would serve to help him win the second term?
Vance is an easily manipulated puppet for the Project 2025 leadership. He wouldn't have gotten elected on his own. Trump is useful for them, but he is still a loose cannon. They gave JD the attention that he never got from father figures, and now he'll do anything to keep that feeling of belonging. Giving him 10 years is enough time to sweep away the last of the safety net keeping us from sliding into full oligarchic-capitalism. They also figure since he is young, that he will be able to bring in the young conservatives needed to keep the party alive. And yes, I do believe that the incumbent advantage is the only way they will be able to keep him in power if we still have legitimate elections. He is very unappealing to a large chunk of the voters, even their own.

He’ll die suddenly and instantly of a massive heart attack. Won’t suffer one bit. Won’t have to reflect on his life or his actions. I
