    Secret service controls all of that for every POTUS/VPOTUS. The select which airport in each area works best for their security measures and the ground stops are standard and nothing the VP or any other passenger on the plane has control over.

      The VP could have scheduled a flight at like 2 am. They do know what happens to airports they use.

      I mean he could’ve just waited to taxi to the runway until he was actually ready to take off. But mostly I enjoy the humor in the inconvenience and applying petty blame

        That’s just not how airports work when the secret service is controlling them. The VIPs have basically no say in how they get anywhere. They say where they’re going and everything is set up based on the USSS.
