    It should be very clearly stated that that is DIRECTLY contradictory to the Constitution still. You cannot be VP if you are ineligible to run for the office.

      Elon Musk is neither President or Vice President, yet yields a massive amount of power for someone who is just “an independent contractor”.

      This is what I’m getting at. That a JD Vance President and Mike Johnson VP (let’s just say for sake of illustration) could indicate they’re bringing Trump on as a “consultant” and then leave their jobs largely up to him.

      Technically speaking Vance would still hold the title President but Trump would be executing most of the functions.
