From Yahoo News/AFP:

ISLAMABAD (AFP) – US vice president-elect Joe Biden on Friday assured Pakistan's leaders of the incoming Obama administration's commitment to helping Islamabad fight extremists, the government here said.

Biden, who takes office on January 20 with president-elect Barack Obama, made the remarks in talks with Pakistan's president, prime minister and army chief at the start of a regional tour with Republican senator Lindsey Graham.

Although Biden's office has stressed he is in the region in his capacity as a senator, the trip is likely to be seen as carrying more weight, given Obama's plans to shift the focus in the US-led "war on terror" to South Asia.

My Comment: We can only have one President at any time ... according to President-elect Obama .... but it appears that two vice presidents is permissible.

Personally .... both President-elect Obama and Vice-President-elect Biden should be actively involved .... and I am sure that both ARE actively involved.
