BRIEFING

Jett here. A viral post is ripping across X with a radical constitutional idea that’s got people arguing all over the political map. What if we boot Senate majority leader John Thune and let Vice President JD Vance drive the Senate agenda instead? Sounds crazy, right? But it's legal. Let’s get into it.

The theory traces back to something Charlie Kirk talked about before he was murdered, and the reason it’s catching fire right now is obvious. The American people are fed up with watching Republican leadership stall the America First agenda, namely the SAVE Act. So, suddenly the vice president's forgotten role in the Senate is back in the spotlight.

The argument behind the post starts with a real constitutional thing most Americans don't even know exists. The vice president of the United States isn't just a ceremonial backup president. Under Article I of the Constitution, the vice president is the actual president of the Senate. That means he rules over the chamber and casts tie-breaking votes whenever the Senate is split.

Back in the day, that role carried way more weight than it does today. John Adams, the first vice president, regularly presided over Senate proceedings during George Washington's admin.

SOURCE

The sole constitutionally prescribed responsibility of the vice president is to preside over the U.S. Senate, where they were empowered to cast a tie-breaking vote.[147] Early in his term, Adams became deeply involved in a lengthy Senate controversy over the official titles for the president and executive officers of the new government. Although the House agreed that the president should be addressed simply as "George Washington, President of the United States", the Senate debated the issue at some length.

Back then the modern "Senate majority leader" didn’t even exist. That role was invented later as political parties built their own power structure inside the chamber.

SOURCE

The Constitution does not establish leader positions in the Senate. The role of leader is separate from the Constitutionally required Senate president pro tempore, who has the responsibility for presiding over the Senate in the absence of the vice president. The parties did not formalize leader roles until the dawn of the 20th century. Senate Democrats began electing leaders in 1889, and Republicans followed in 1913.

The majority leader is a party job chosen by senators. But the vice president's authority comes straight from the Constitution. The argument going viral online is that if a vice president decided to really lean into that authority, he could influence procedural rulings, preside over key legislative moments, and, as we know, break tie votes that determine whether bills live or die.

In other words, it’s a way to ceremonially “boot” Senator Thune and bring an America First voice to the center of Senate power. Someone willing to do whatever it takes to move President Trump’s agenda forward. In reality, though, Thune would still remain majority leader. That role exists because the party created it, not because the Constitution requires it. I’ll explain that more in the debrief.

So what we are really looking at is this. JD Vance does not magically become majority leader. That title itself isn't a constitutional office. The theory is that Vance would use the authority already granted to him by the Constitution to pressure, sideline, or bypass the leadership structure that currently controls what moves and what stalls in the Senate.

That’s why so many people call this idea radical. But most people think "radical" because they don't understand how the Senate actually works. As I told you, the title “majority leader” isn’t a constitutional office. It’s a party leadership position created by senators. Yes, it carries real influence, but it was never built into the original structure designed by the founders. That's important to remember.

Let's take a look at the post that lit the internet on fire.

SOURCE

JD Vance should replace John Thune as Senate Majority Leader.

It's his Constitutional right, as Vice President. John Adams did it for 4 whole years.

We could ram through the entire MAGA agenda before midterms.

Let's make it happen.

For those who doubt this is possible: Charlie Kirk & Mike Lee have both spoken about the possibility & discussed it with each other at length while Charlie was alive.

Charlie wanted to do this because it would “sideline potential RINOs” — aka, Thune — and ensure stronger America First control in the Senate.

Would it be radical?

Of course it would be. But MANY of Charlie's ideas were radical.

This idea has been floating around for a while.

DEBRIEFING

As I mentioned earlier, JD Vance stepping in like that wouldn't automatically pass the SAVE Act.

But what it could do is change the leverage around the bill.

Right now the biggest gatekeeper in the Senate isn’t the Constitution, and it should be. Right now, leadership is controlling the show. The majority leader decides what legislation comes up for debate, when it comes up, and whether it gets a vote at all. If leadership doesn’t want a bill to move, it won't reach the floor.

That’s the frustration driving the viral post.

That post is about disrupting the leadership choke point.

However, it wouldn’t magically open doors to pass the SAVE Act.

But like I explained, it could shift leverage inside the Senate in one important way.

It could force the fight into the open and give the American people are real fighter.

So it’s understandable why ideas like this are suddenly catching fire. For voters who believe election integrity is the foundation of everything else, the SAVE Act isn’t just another bill. It’s the line that determines whether the system itself can be trusted.

At the same time, it’s important to understand the limits and the reality of how this would actually play out. As with most things in politics, there are layers to everything.

NOW YOU KNOW

When leadership blocks the vote, the Constitution becomes the next battlefield.
