Abstract
During the first four years of Dick Cheney’s vice presidency (2001–2005), the second office reached dizzying heights. His next term and the ensuing vice presidency of Joe Biden (2009–2017) witnessed a reduction in the office’s executive-branch prestige, influence, and accomplishments and a return to earlier modern norms. Afterwards, the vice presidencies of Mike Pence and Kamala Harris saw an additional decline, and the first fifteen months of JD Vance’s tenure do not seem to have reversed this trend. Is the office suffering from long-term decline, or is it merely experiencing an extended bump in the road?
