Tuesday, during an event Vice President Joe Biden hosted for lawmakers and disability advocates who helped pass the ABLE Act, he said, “I actually think it’s [Congress] an equal branch of government.”

Presumably referencing complaints about President Barack Obama’s executive branch overreach the vice president joked, “I served  the Congress for 36 years and as they know, I actually think it’s an equal branch of government, because that’s where I come from and it is.”
