John Nance Garner described the office as "not worth a pitcher of warm piss"

Except that's not the role of several modern Vice Presidents, including Biden.

Biden, unlike many of his predecessors, is on every single important staff meeting with the President, and has his ear.

In fact, Biden single-handedly supervised the drawdown of troops and the end of the war in Iraq, going there once a month there since the election and reporting back to the President (leaving SOS Clinton free to turn her attention elsewhere).

Completely different than the outsider, ceremonial position you described.

Paul Ryan wrote the Republican Party budget, the budget that will destroy this nation with debt and end Medicare and Social Security as we know it.

Yah, don't waste your time on useless endeavors.

It's a shame our citizens are so uninformed.
