The US Vice President is also the President of the Senate. It is in that role that he attends the SoU.

I am aware of his Constitutional office. My question dealt with POTUS & VPOTUS being within five feet of each other for 90 minutes every January. SoTU is made in the House Chamber and it is the Speaker’s role as host. The VP is ornamental as no vote of the Senate will be taken. Therefore prudence might indicate he be somewhere else.
