Was he not a US Senator?
3 comments

He left the Senate in 2009 when he became vice president. He left the VP office in 2016 after Obama's second term ended. He was private citizen when this was happening. Powerful person? Sure. An agent of the government? No.
No, hasn't been since he was elected to VP in 2008.
Nope. He was a private citizen at this point in time.
