pathos, holding office as suffering

the vice presidency (consider a vice consulship?) is the most pathetic office, this literally have the job of being heir to the throne but have no independent political basis of power other than one vote in the Senate.

you can't be removed but have no real control on whether you are renominated by your running mate (Calhoun being the exception), your boss is a senile octogenarian seggregationist.

the electoral college is also pretty pathetic

just run for office yourself, a kind of not me you attitude

running for office is the beginning and end of political activity.

offended by sending a letter.
