    Because sleepy Joe isn’t a dictator. He needs legislation to execute. Right now, the legislature isn’t in complete democratic control as the House is Republican. When Democrats had a legislative and executive mandate from 2020-22, they passed one of the largest infrastructure bills in US history which created a shit load of jobs. When Republicans got the house, they kept launching investigations in Hunter Biden’s laptop only to find out that he had a massive cock.

    Isn’t a vice president in the US just a backup incase the president croaks? Do vice presidents have any real power?

      Traditionally they are pure PR and help the president look good. They have very little weight in terms of getting stuff done.
