The correct answer is to this open question is the following.
I think is correct that the responsibilities of the vice president of the United States have increased. He is the "right hand" of the President and he must conduct many activities that the President can't because he is overseeing other high responsibilities. As the second-highest man of the executive branch, the vice president presides over the US Senate, he is the direct advisor of the President, he presides over impeachment trails, oftentimes he is the spokesperson on important issues of the government, he supervises the count of votes in an election, and is the direct successor in case the US President is removed or die.
During many US administrations, the vice president had had such as a"figurative position," that is why it is good he has more active participation in the executive branch functions and responsibilities.
