That pesky constitution thingie specifically granted the power of the senate to the VP.
Surprising how many people don’t know that...

VP Vance should also take over Senate Leadership. Thune is a sell out.

However, the Vice President is a key part of Continuity of Government (COG) protocols, which involve special security measures during extreme national emergencies. We are in one right now with the Iranian conflict. To ensure the survival of the executive branch, the Vice President and President are often kept at separate locations during high-risk scenarios, such as threats of mass attack or during the State of the Union. Placing him at any location creates a problem with the need as he is open to assassination and especially with senators around him increasing the effectiveness of any subversive action.
