"the second most powerful office in the country". We are talking about the vice presidency here, correct?

  I admit, that was a poor choice of words. How about second most visible, or second most prestigious? My point was that it's an enviable position, not least of which because it's a great stepping stone to becoming president. Actual political power aside.

    That I can agree with.

    "My point was that it's an enviable position," It's been described by someone who had that position as "not worth a bucket of warm spit". "not least of which because it's a great stepping stone to becoming president." This is actually pretty uncommon, in practice. Anyway, in Biden's specific case, there's no way he'll be President. He probably won't be running for VP again.
