6. If the vice president asserts a claim against the president based on assault, will the vice president prevail?
A bank vice president took substantial kickbacks to approve certain loans that later proved worthless. Upon learning of the kickbacks, the bank's president fired the vice president, telling him, «If you are not out of this bank in 10 minutes, I will have the guards physically throw you out.» The vice president left at once.

A is incorrect. Actual contact is not required for an assault.
C is incorrect. Intent to cause severe emotional distress is not the element of an assault claim; it is an element of the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress.
D is incorrect. Words alone are not sufficient if not accompanied by some overt act. Further, the threat must be of immediate harm, and the president gave the vice president 10 minutes to leave.
