Elizabeth Warren Just Showed Why She’d Be An Amazing Veep

[longship]

10. Nope! She showed why she should stay on the Senate floor.

Like she is apparently inclined to do.

The VEEP has next to no power in the US Senate. They only get to vote upon a tie. And they get to wield a gavel, when they apparently choose to do so (normally only when they are going to vote to break a predicted tie).

In other words, Elizabeth Warren would give up the right to:

1. Vote on every Senate vote.
2. Speak on the floor on any bill.
3. Hold a position in a Senate committee.
4. Hold a minority or majority leadership position in a committee.
5. Have a leg up to a Senate leadership position, like majority leader or minority leader.

Either this, or a gavel and a tie-breaking vote.

Only a mad person would choose the gavel.
