Exactly.

I mean, Kamala seems to have essentially vanished from the public eye since becoming VP.

Off the top of my head, typing in real time, I've got:

Kamala
Pence
Biden
Cheney, still in his undisclosed location?
Gore, still flying around in his jet?
Quayle, perhaps now a spokesman for the potato/potatoe industry?
Bush, the "loser" aviator from WWII and father of Shrub
Fishface, er, Mondale
Rockefeller/Ford/Agnew - Watergate and fun.
Blank
LBJ
Nixon
More Blanks
Truman
Many Blanks
Coolidge
Blank blank blankity blank
Teddy!!!!
Blank(s)
Stevenson
Blank(s)?
Andrew Johnson ("Other than that, how did you like the play?")
Blanks
Millard Fillmore (because his name sounds hilarious is the only reason he's in the brain still)
Tyler (Tippacanoe and Tyler too)
Van Buren
Calhoun (sp?)
...
George Clinton and his P-Funk Allstars
Aaron Burr ("Got Milk?")
Jefferson
Adams

(Looks like I remember the ones that became President, or have funny names, or were Founding Fathers, or are very recent)

The only reason I even remember him is the whole potato thing.

And Pence reportedly consulted with Dan Quayle about his boss’ request to not certify results of the 2020 Presidential election.

Right? I'd wiped that horror from my memory. Imagine the integrity of our government hinging on Dan Quayle's intellect!

Agree, IL. Plus it's an assured, prestigious, well-paid job. Running on a Biden ticket might be a lot more risky.
