easolutions... Do you think MoveOn.org is gonna hire Rush Limbaugh to write for its web site? Is MoveOn.org media or is Limbaugh? Still waiting for your answer..... FYI, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ariann..._b_131489.html. 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. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

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. |

No one would ever accuse Joe Biden of knowing something about history. Witness his fairy tale about FDR's getting on television in 1929 and telling people about the causes of the depression. Biden is well aware that Johnson became President after Lincoln's assassination. He saw pictures of him getting sworn in aboard Air Force 1. |

Hmmn, just like your declaration that the Congress was Democrat in 1999? Ergo you know nothing about history? Cheers Marty |

Translated into English it means no further argument necessary from me. You have already proved my point for me. Fact not in evidence. |
