If you think that everybody in the USian government except for the president has no power, you are incredibly ignorant.
Do you think that vice president's job is to just sit back and do nothing and just be available to become the acting president if the actual president dies or becomes otherwise incapacitated?
They all have very specific roles. The VP does not legislate, or approve legislation.
The VP is literally the head of the senate and can vote on senate bills to break a tie
And you are also claiming that the VP has no executive power whatsoever. You also seem to assume that she has no power to legislate indirectly, by collaborating with legislators, despite holding the second most powerful executive position in the USian government.
Can you, in your own words, explain the difference between the executive and legislative branches of government?
