Is it better to say that you don't know exactly what the VP does, or to say that you do, but be wrong?

...and have like 15 million years in the Senate as experience, and still be wrong about something so rudimentary?

So wtf is your point?

If Biden was going to call out Cheney on anything related to this it should have been Cheney's argument to exempt the Office of the VP from executive branch oversight. That's the genesis of this whole question. But Biden didn't. He chose to play the fear card and demonstrate that he's willing to dumb himself down to do it.

You are just plain and simply wrong. As is Cheney.
The VP is part of the executive branch...period.
He may have some legislative functions, but the position is executive. Cheney is wrong...you are wrong and Palin is wrong.

Cheney simply came up with the ploy to avoid accountability. Something that the Bush/Cheney administration was deathly afraid of.

I would imagine someone tossing a ball across the room amuses you.

And I would imagine that you thought of that line all day with that one diseased, delusional brain cell of yours, which is why it comes across as incredibly pitiable.

Article I, Section 3, Paragraph 4:

"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided."

Here is Palin's failure to understand what the 'founding fathers' said about the Vice President's role within the Constitution AND Biden's accurate description of the practical day-to-day role of the VP, his accurate description of Cheney's over extension of executive powers, and his spot description of Article I's declarative that the ONLY legislative role of the VP within the United States Senate, is the dead-lock vote:

Palin Way Out Of Her Depth.

Changing and re-writing history (like so many Republicans love to do these days), ignoring facts put directly under your nose (like so many Republicans love to do these days) and pretending to understand things without doing the homework; does not alter reality.

Ehem:

Quote:

The Constitution, though, actually says the vice president is always president of the Senate and legal scholars say he has the right to preside at any time. Early vice presidents, such as Thomas Jefferson, actively exercised that role, the vice president still keeps offices at the Capitol, and scholars say it wasn't until the middle of the 20th century that the vice president had an office at the executive office building.

The president pro tempore, usually the senior senator from the majority party, takes over only when the vice president is absent. In recent practice, as the vice president has taken a bigger role in the executive, that's meant the Senate operates almost all of the time without the vice president in the chair.

=-=-

Mr. Biden, who's been in the Senate for three decades, also mistakenly stated that the executive branch is defined in Article I of the Constitution. In fact, Article I describes the legislature, while Article II lays out the executive.

Washington Times - Biden gets veep role wrong

Reality begs to differ with your "truth"
