Historically, vice presidents aren�t all that important as it relates to the
day-to-day duties of running the country, but when you have an octogenarian
in the White House who or may not be suffering early stages of dementia, the
position tends to have a bit of a larger role in the administration.

So it was a bit concerning when current Vice President Kamala Harris
struggled to explain to �Late Night� host Stephen Colbert what exactly her
job duties are around the Biden White House:

�One of the themes of the show [Veep] is that her character, Selina Meyer, is
frustrated by the sometimes vague duties of the role. It�s a high
constitutional office, but does not describe what you�re supposed to be
doing,� Colbert said. �Does that ring true? Like, what�s the actual role on a
daily basis as you have found it?�

�Well, I have the great privilege of serving with Joe Biden, who is the
President of the United States,� Harris responded.

�Does he understand what it�s like to be vice president?� Colbert then
jokingly asked.

�He does, he does,� Harris replied with a laugh. �He really is a true partner
and he understands that job,� Harris said before rambling and concluding that
Biden is an �extraordinary leader. He really is.�

To his credit, Colbert rebutted, �That�s an excellent answer and, uh, the
question was, what�s the job of the vice president � and your answer is part
of the job, I�m guessing?�

Harris was then able to articulate one example of other duties, such as going
to the Munich Security Conference.

Of course, Harris actually has been tasked with plenty under Biden. Nearly a
year ago, she was tapped as Biden�s border czar to deal with the deluge of
illegal aliens flooding into the country via Mexico.

Suffice it to say, she failed at that one.

Perhaps Harris� real duty is acting as President Joe Biden�s insurance policy
against impeachment or being knocked off the ballot in 2024. He cannot be
removed because then she�ll head up the ticket.

Even a Democrat is wise enough to know that would be a total disaster � which
is really saying something compared to the direction the country is currently
headed.

We already knew this woman is dumb as a stump, but when they can’t even set
her up to be able to handle an interview with Colbert, and for God sakes is
on her side?

The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it is still on my list.

Bunk. I bet the real position that would take up the slack is Chief of
Staff. As for the vice president they have only two duties. The first
is to break ties in the Senate and stay by the phone in case they wake
up president.
