the ability to set the legislative agenda
The President and the Vice-President are members of the same Administration - they are expected to co-operate in getting the President's agenda through Congress. If the Vice-President is critical or unsupportive of the President's agenda, it makes it much more difficult for the Administration to achieve its goals.
