Pence testified in special council Smith's January 6 grand jury today, despite Trump's hail-mary executive privilege attempt to prevent it. (That seemed to me like an especially weak argument, since the VP doesn't work for the president, but is a separate constitutional office),

Pence appears before Jan. 6 grand jury
Pence’s closed-door appearance marks an extraordinary flashpoint in special counsel Jack Smith’s probe.
VP is probably the best job in government, in therms of ratio of perks/effort. You don't really have to do anything except break tie votes in the Senate and preside at the occasional joint session. In return, you get a really nice house (more private than the WH), a decent salary, secret service protection, private Air Force air travel, and a public platform to use as you wish. The rest of the time you just fantasize about POTUS choking on a pretzel or something.
