I think the Senate makes its own rules and I don’t think the President of the Senate can just toss them aside.
Some people are floating the idea:

many VPs seem to lie low. I was thinking that it would be good for Vance to make a name for himself during the first four years so that he is an obvious choice as incumbent in 2028. This would sure do it.
No.
Stop. Trump will get who he wants. Victorious overwhelming. People looking to make controversy where none exists.
Run McConnell out of town on a rail.
This proposal is just plain stupid. What is the object of this ridiculous scenario. He’s going to be VP...period.
It’s going to he Thune. Trump is just going to have to deal with that somehow. He should be cordial but firm, knowing that he won a huge mandate, including the popular vote, and that projects power in Washington.
Yes they can as legal precedent has already been done...Don’t listen to these nay sayers.
No he cannot.
I believe Vance will spend most of his time with Trump being MAGA mentored, ready for 2028.
Article 1 Section2 of he Constitution states: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided”. The Constitution says nothing about any “Senate Majority Leader”. That part comes from rules voted upon by the senators. It can be assumed that the constitutionally authorized “President” of the Senate can overrule a non-constitutionally authorized “majority leader”.
Show us where in the Constitution it describes the role of a Majority Leader. Then do the same for President of the Senate.
The quesion is whether Trump has the balls to do it - anyone want to take that bet?
I suspect this idea is being floated as part of a strategy to get the Cornyn/Thune contingent to STFU and give Trump the leader he wants. Sometimes a threat is more effective than the actual thing because these all-too-comfy Senators will not want to F around and Find Out.
Not really.
So Vance is going to attend all the Senate sessions, vote on bills, go home and talk to his locals....AND he’s gonna be VP....How dumb is that.....because he’s NOT a Senator.
When did you dream this up. IT CAN NOT HAPPEN....he’s not a Senator.
I think that constitution thingy makes that very problematic.
Don’t make Schumer some kind of hero.
Why are there only 3 choices? (Rick Scott is the only choice of the 3 IMO)
Why is the ballot SECRET?!
Thought they were supposed to work for the people?
