A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    @omooex

    Be careful who you call stupid. Article I of the Constitution describes the legislature, not the executive, which Biden claimed.

    Article II, which is the part that talks about the executive, gives no powers to the VP, although it explicitly gives powers to the president.

    In fact, aside from assigning him duties as president of the senate, the constitution gives no duties to the vice president, and doesn't even designate that he should be paid.
