That’s very nice.....
How about he does his CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED JOB and preside over the senate...
Every day it is in session....
He calls it to order, dismisses it for the day, and can send it into recess, you know, the kind where one or two guys simply cannot call the senate to order and, ya know, let the president make recess appointments...

Hmmmmmm, I wonder.....

Hmmmm.... is right.

Excellent points.

Why hasn’t he fired the Parliamentarian?

Can POTUS direct him to do these things you’ve suggested?

Vance does what the President asks him to do. If he did not, well, Pirro found out, along with some others.

Under Article I, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the Vice President is designated as the President of the Senate, but in modern legislative practice, they rarely preside over routine daily floor debates.

The Vice President's primary constitutional function in the chamber is to cast tie-breaking votes when the Senate is equally divided (50–50) or to preside during major ceremonial events, such as joint sessions of Congress or electoral vote counting. Day-to-day presiding duties are delegated to the Senate President pro tempore or rotated among junior senators from the majority party to gain parliamentary experience.

Since the mid-20th century, the role of the Vice President has shifted almost entirely into the executive branch, focusing on policy leadership, diplomatic missions, and executive administration alongside personal and family life.

It would seem that you do not approve of the job that JD Vance is doing. Most typically this is an indication not of how of how people feel about the VP, but about how they feel about President Trump. Are you a closet Never-Trumper?

Do you have any activities in your life that are not directly related to your current means of supporting yourself like raising children, fixing up your home, boating, exercising, or other recreational activities? If so, I think you should observe the old proverb... Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

If he were to do that, he might well be the first.

“Hmmmmmm, I wonder.....”

It seems on threads like this there is always an uptight stiff to gripe about little things like this. Would you like it better if they got a rabbit hutch? Or bred dogs? It’s a harmless hobby to teach the kids responsibility.
