Trump should tell Vance that his sole job for the next four years is to exercise his constitutional role as President of the Senate and preside over the body, something vice presidents regularly did until the 1950s. Article I, Section 3, Clause 4 of the Constitution says: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”

An interesting IDEA. Take the Turtle to the wood shed too.

I am interested to see if you have a Constitutional/historical critique on this idea.

I don’t think that even the past can serve as a guide for how to deal with a Senate full of traitorous snakes.

Amendment to the Constitution has not served us. There are no “Checks and Balances” functioning, anymore, between the branches of Federal Government. Women are over represented in government, in some cases using biological males.

Trump’s biggest weapon is the ability to dismantle any agency or regulation not passed by congress.

I said this exact same thing several weeks ago, only to be “taken to the woodshed” by a number of people on this site.
The senate is the VP’s chamber to run as he sees fit.
Majority Leader is a made up title with power appointed by the senate itself, and is NOT based upon any constitutional authority.
The VP can and should simply strip this person of power and move on.
Put the senate in recess so that recess appointments can be made (remember the turtle did not put the senate into recess for 4 years so that President Trump could not make recess appointments. Pence was a traitor to the people.)
The VP can and should pull bills out of committee and call for a vote.

Back in the days of sailing ships, pirates would often fly the flag of legitimate countries. As soon as they were within combat range of an unsuspecting merchant ship they would run up the Jolly Rodgers and attack.
I have long stated RINOs are worse than DemocRats. Right now the unholy trinity of McConnell, Cornyn and Thune and their protégés abd lesser luminaries like Ernst, Collins and Mikulski control the Senate and they are more virulent than DemocRats. Trump has to fight them too. They are as much swamp creatures as Schiff, Schumer and Pelosi and prepared to defend their dens WITH the DemocRats
