    It’s not that “they don’t have any power” it’s that there’s LITERALLY NOTHING the VP can do.

    They don’t set the policy, that’s the job of the President.

    They don’t pass legislation, that’s the job of the House and Senate. If the Senate is tied on a bill, the VP can break the tie, but outside that THEY HAVE NO ROLE.

    As an individual citizen, the VP can’t engage in diplomacy.

    All she could do is exactly what she did, run for President on a platform of cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.

    “BuH BuH WhY DiDn’t sHe dO AnYtHiNg??!?!?”

    You might as well ask why J.D. Vance doesn’t do anything, or why didn’t Biden do anything as V.P. That’s not what the job is.

    Stop blaming the VP because you don’t comprehend how it all works.
