Let the vertical angle be C. So, the base angles are A and B.
the internal bisector of angle A will make two equal angles of measure A/2 each.
The external bisector of the other base angle will make two equal angles of measure (180-B)/2.
Let both bisectors meet at say P.
So, angle PAB=A/2
angle PBA=B+([180-B]/2)=90+(B/2)
So, in triangle PBA,
angle P+ angle PAB+angle PBA= 180 ( angle sum property)
So,
angle P=180-(angle PAB+angle PBA)
=180-[(A/2)+90+(B/2)]=90 -[(A/2)+(B/2)]
=90-[(A+B)/2]
=90-[(180-C)/2]
=90-[90-(C/2)]
=C/2
=Half of the vertical angle C.
