Still waiting for your answer.....

She's still not clear about the role of the VP, apparently....
IFILL: Governor, you mentioned a moment ago the constitution might give
the vice president more power than it has in the past. Do you believe as
Vice President Cheney does, that the Executive Branch does not hold
complete sway over the office of the vice presidency, that it it is also a
member of the Legislative Branch?

PALIN: Well, our founding fathers were very wise there in allowing through
the Constitution much flexibility there in the office of the vice
president. And we will do what is best for the American people in tapping
into that position and ushering in an agenda that is supportive and
cooperative with the president's agenda in that position. Yeah, so I do
agree with him that we have a lot of flexibility in there, and we'll do
what we have to do to administer very appropriately the plans that are
needed for this nation. And it is my executive experience that is partly
to be attributed to my pick as V.P. with McCain, not only as a governor,
but earlier on as a mayor, as an oil and gas regulator, as a business
owner. It is those years of experience on an executive level that will be
put to good use in the White House also.

IFILL: Vice President Cheney's interpretation of the vice presidency?

BIDEN: Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president
we've had probably in American history. The idea he doesn't realize that
Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of
the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive
Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that.

And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America
is to support the president of the United States of America, give that
president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to
preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote.
The Constitution is explicit.

The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint
is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative
to the Congress. The idea he's part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre
notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive
and look where it has gotten us. It has been very dangerous.

Actually, Andrew Johnson was the most dangerous Vice President in history,
but then someone would have to know something about history.

Good ole Andrew went onto the presidency, the first president to be
impeached and the only president to declare war against a religion and send
troops outside of the US to attack it.
