    I cannot imagine being a vice president. You do jack squat and serve as a lap dog all on the hopes that the person above you dies, which rarely happens because of state of the art healthcare. Moreover in Vance’s case the last guy to occupy the position was threatened with gallows.

      Depending on the administration, the role is pretty defined. In this administration, I’m surprised anyone knows what their job is.

      There are a few firm roles, outlined in the constitution. Here is one that (imo) he isn’t doing:

      25th Amendment roles: The VP helps determine if the president is unable to discharge their duties (for example, during illness or incapacity).

        It’s not even the mental or illegal parts. Trump has the mini stroke droop, has obviously been getting stuck, and has been slurring his words. He at least needs to take a long vacation to get better.

      Sit in Senate hearings, study/learn break ties. Honestly not a bad job when you don’t have a crazy administration. But it hasn’t been smooth sailing for a VP in about 51 years now

      My favourite scenario like that is with King Charles … he sat around all his life waiting for his mom to kick the bucket but she hung on for decades … now King Charles’ body is basically shutting down and he now gets to put the crown on while feeling miserable
