« on: September 26, 2008, 11:17:23 AM »
You here about many of politicans there views, and what they are trying to
accomplish. I never here what a VP does. Is he hidding in case the President gets
assassinated..what exactly does he do??

I just never hear anything about VPs weather its this administration or others in the past.

By the constitution they replace the president if he/she becomes incapacitated and is the tie-breaking vote in the Senate.

The Vice President of the United States is the first person in the presidential line of succession, becoming the new President of the United States upon the death, resignation, or removal of the president.  As designated by the Constitution of the United States, the vice president also serves as the President of the Senate, and may break tie votes in that chamber. He or she may be assigned additional duties by the president but, as the Constitution assigns no executive powers to the vice president, in performing such duties he or she acts only as an agent of the president.

Great well now that we know that...Why is it that Palin is getting so much flack
over foreign policy and other subjects that really has nothing to do with responsibility's
of a VP??

I know I know,  If the President dies, she has to know these things. Besides that
fact, why all the flack over some of these subjects that more than likely she will
never be involved with anyway.

She does nothing, until the president dies of old age.

The she can start World War 3.

Perhaps you might try reading.  http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761556365/vice_president_of_the_united_states.html

Although, one wonders if you would understand.  "here=hear?"  "there=their?"  "hidding=hiding?" "weather=whether?" I'm just not sure you will figure out what those real written words mean.... maybe you should justlet FOX news tell you how you feel, it's apparent they have filled that role for you already.

Your post surely must be a joke.  No one can function as such.
