“There cannot be a great vice president. A great man may occupy the office, but there is no way for him to become a great vice president because the office in itself is almost wholly unimportant.”
—former Vice President John Nance Garner, Collier’s Magazine, March 20, 1948

Explain what Garner meant by this remark. Use information from your reading to explain how his point of view compares with the job description of the Vice President described in the chapter.

how would I explain it?

Answered by Ms. Sue
Vice presidents have always taken a back seat to the president. Protocol demands that they don't contradict the president in public and that they live in the shadow of the commander-in-chief.
