I just don't get how this guy might be the next leader of the Free World

I suspect if an administration wanted to push it a VP could dictate things like which Senator got which office space etc and I suppose call the Senate into session if they were out of town. Basically thumb in your eye kind of stuff

I don't think they can even go that far.... the VP is only there to serve as a figurehead and tie breaking vote castor...
Their other role is to back the president, and be ready to lead if president can't perform their duties... that is is it.

I think you mean Legislative power...

She would be the President of the Senate... what part of that are you debating?
well you two are similar in your views... no wonder you like her

keep in mind that everyone besides you two will tell you different.

For the third time....
I didn't give you my opinion. I didn't quote a professor somewhere or consult Madam Cleo.
I QUOTED THE FREAKIN Constitution of the United States. If people will tell me different it is because we live in a Nation full of mindless zombies that can't be bothered to spend the necessary 22 seconds to Google "US Constitution" then use a search feature to find "Vice President" in the body of said Constitution.
I never said she could write legislation, do handsprings across the floor or raise Cuckoos in the podium. I simply quoted the Constitution that says almost exactly what you said she said. The Vice President is the President of the Senate...

THE DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN AMERICAN

Joe goes to sleep at night. While he sleeps the greatest Intelligence Agencies in the world monitor terrorists all around the world to see where they next might harm Joe. Joe doesn't give a thought to the Conservative who fought to keep FISA and other Intel laws in effect.
Good thing we have BIG Brother ease dropping. Who needs the constitution anyway. We should go back to the Articles of Confederation, since it was the conservatives that were first against the Federalist Big Government US Constitution you quote later.

I watched all four of the Presidential and VP canidates tonight on the CNN streaming video at their campaign stops. All of them looked and sounded completely wore out...

I am not very political. I vote and have opinions, but was mostly only reading through this for a good laugh when I saw your comment. I've lost a good friend who served with me since basic training. We were in Bosnia and Afghanistan together. He was going for the full 20, but I got out earlier. Point is when I see a person (Dem or Rep) using the deaths of my fellow soldiers to promote some political agenda on a piss-ant forum it makes my blood boil. Let's try not to presume the dead share your beliefs and died for your causes.
