Just imagine him opening the doors and walking right down the aisle, unannounced. Goes all the way up to the front and grabs the mic.
"Thune...."
(long pause)

A simple search could prevent you displaying your ignorance. Just sayin

Can jd vance appoint himself the Senate majority leader
Grok says no:
No, JD Vance cannot appoint himself as Senate Majority Leader.The Senate Majority Leader is not appointed by anyone—especially not by the Vice President. The position is elected by the senators of the majority party (in this case, the Republican Conference, since Republicans hold the majority). This happens at the start of each new Congress or when a vacancy arises, through a vote of the party's caucus/conference members. The role is a party leadership position, not a constitutional office like President of the Senate.The Vice President (currently JD Vance) serves as the President of the Senate per the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 3), with powers limited to presiding over sessions when present and casting tie-breaking votes. The VP has no authority to appoint, select, or install themselves (or anyone else) as Majority Leader. That power rests solely with the majority party's senators.

AI is good for shite like this.
There wouldn't be any need for him to do this because he has better means for addressing the Senate.

I agree and don't care anymore. This is about a topic that your AI answer can't really address unless Grover Cleveland set the precedent.

Yeah, it doesn't really matter. Glen Beck is frickin wrong on this anyways. Neither JD Vance or Trump is going to take over Senate agenda.
What they need to do is replace Thune as leader. That could happen frickin today if these senators actually gave a shite about passing this thing. The fact that they aren't doing this speaks volumes.

JD should definitely get in the mix.

Vance as President of Senate cannot alone force a talking filibuster. You need 51 votes to call for quorum which forces the minority party to be present and participate in debate. Vance can be the 51st vote in the event of a tie. Then the majority party must reject filing for cloture, thus the 60 vote threshold to end debate won’t be required. Then you simply allow the debate to continue until the minority runs out of speakers. But the majority must keep 50 senators present also during this time. By enforcing the two speech rule and quorum calls, the majority can force a vote requiring only 51 votes to pass legislation once the minority runs out of speakers to debate

Not really, and Mike Lee knows this. The VP has a narrowly defined role as to a 50/50 deadlock and presiding over the Senate in mostly ceremonial type duties. He can't push the legislative process and cannot become the Majority Leader. You cannot have him as an active member of the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch at the same time.
He's the tie breaker as proscribed by the Constitution.
He also has the job of counting and certifying the electoral votes.
Lee really wants an imperious executive branch.....what's more disturbing is that there are many in the Senate and the House that are content to allow this to happen so long as it does not interfere with fund raising.......or in Lee's case getting in front of a camera or microphone.

The $220 million Noem spent would have been better spent blasting Thune and the other traitors. Just saying.

I really don't care about this legislation. If it passes, fine,if it doesn't that's fine too. I'm all for IDs if the particular state wants them. I have reservations on the federal government dictating the time and manner and procedures of voting conducted in the states.

Who doesn't want a no show job with pay, perks, and benefits?
