What Does A VP Do?

Although an important government position, previous vice presidents mostly waited to take on a job they hope they’d never have to do. Ascending to the president’s post usually means something disastrous happened, judging from the eight presidential deaths in US history.

Biden being the oldest person to hold the nation’s highest post at 78 years old would likely add stress to Harris, who is next in line. Adding to that is her duty to preside over the Senate. Fortunately, Biden’s physician has attested that he is in good shape and healthy enough to fulfill his obligations.
