unitary executive theory  vice president is not a job. its a title or level. in the case of the vice president of the united states, the constitution defines only two responsibilities: 1) replace the president in case of death, resignation or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the office, and 2) preside over the senate and cast tie-breaking votes. other vice presidents have different jobs. so, the critical question is vice president of what? at the other extreme, dick cheney was as close to a co-president as weve seen. he was the behind-the-scenes leader of the us war on terrorism and one of the main proponents of the us invasion of iraq, the expansion of wire-tapping by the nsa and other us policy changes.   bradt/2020/08/11/why-vice-president -is-not-a-real-job/ this debate means nothing
