To be fair, the VP is only very slightly more powerful than a typical senator, and less powerful than at least one of them. Do you know all the senators? The VP is also less powerful than a supreme court justice. The VP is also less powerful than the house majority leader. Things are less clear with governors, but I think the argument can be made that the VP is less powerful than the governors of California, Texas, Florida, New York, etc. Do you know those? Also, remember what Feynman said his dad taught him about knowing the names of birds. Memorizing names gives a false sense of knowledge.
