“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

I could give you my interpretation, but your instructions say to use the information from your reading.
yes please do give me your interpretation..
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.
Now, what is YOUR interpretation, Alexa? Or are you going to cheat and use Ms. Sue's as your own?
