    My thought is that it's more the opposite why they haven't put Kamala in the Oval Office yet. Dems/Kamala want to run away from Biden while maintaining all his policies. They just need a new candidate that isn't tainted by Biden and the current policies while not addressing those policies exist at all. So if Kamala had the power, then she would have to answer for wielding it. The current arrangement allows her to be a perfect figuredhead for 'something else' aka 'not Biden or Trump'. Any criticisms of current policies can easily be blamed on Biden. She gets to run against both of them in a weird way.

      Yeah the sooner she gets swapped in the sooner she starts getting blamed directly without people having room to be like "She was just in the administration"
