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.

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

I'm simply referring to the fact that if you believe H-E-R-E means what you do with your ears, like your post implies, then reading a book on the duties of the vice president may not be effective.

I have to admit that I am not very good at typing or spelling...the point  I was trying to make..
You never here about Chenney on the news. All the crazy things going on in this world and
you never here "VP Dick Channey is in Iraq trying to make peace" Or "Dick Channey is working hard to
fix the finical problems in the US".

 As powerful as the VP is, what is his input on this whole mess? How come we never here
about him or his opinions or thoughts on world affairs or our economy?

Besides succeeding the president in case of death or incapacitation, the only job the VP has is to preside in the senate and break tie votes.

As the only constitutional job he has as VP is a legislative one, Cheney recently tried to argue that he did not have to answer questions from congress as he was not part of the executive branch, but was in fact a a member of the legislative branch.

From what government disbursement office is his pay check drawn.. and is it the same as the presidents?

(dunno.. just asking.. would be damning if his check came from the same source as congress instead of the administration)

Actually he attempted to argue that he was in neither branch.  He wasn't in the executive branch, so he didn't have congressional oversight.... And he wasn't in the Legislative branch, so he had no judicial oversight.  He failed.
