Poliphile had a rather inconspicuous Vice Presidency for the first half of it, traveling on domestic and foreign trips, meeting with communities, American political leaders and foreign leaders. He was generally regarded as a relatively unknown and young political leader, but was also somewhat popular.

Poliphile maintained an untainted reputation until he decided to invoke the 25th amendment with cabinet members Logan Rabe and Ivor Mestrovic on President Adam Evans, believing that he was under a detrimental mental state. They submitted an official letter to the President, and Poliphile initially became Acting President. Evans, expectedly, sent another letter back, re-affirming his previous opinion that he was not mentally unstable.

Poliphile received criticism for the rest of his Vice Presidential term regarding invoking the 25th amendment.
