Remember, though, that this was the case when the VP was the losing presidential candidate and a rival to the president. Nowadays the two are supposed to be a team, and the constitution really does seem to indicate, in pretty clear language, that the VP is a member of the executive branch. John Adams was not in fact a rival to George Washington, and was more "pro-Washington" than Jefferson was.
