I know that much... but it's still a little hard to grasp.

[ how much does a title that's largely symbolic mean anyway? sure, they handed him the vice presidency, but it's not like he really gained much authority over spirius. at the very least, it never felt like he did, considering no one ever listened to him much anyway. ]

...just what does a vice president do, anyway? ]

None of that matters here anyway. [ where he's back to being... what was it again? an office assistant? ]
