“The Constitution does indeed clearly define the role and powers and does not grant the Vice President any such authority.”

Of course it does. It delegated that authority to Pence the exact same way that it delegated legislative and executive review to the Supreme Court (see Marbury v. Madison).

If the black robed demigods can do it then so can other officers of the Constitution.

You cannot require an office and then declare it has no authority.
