Unless you seriously think that McCain, Obama or any future President is going to give their Veep the kind of power the current Jackass gave Cheney...



I thought Palin's response at the debates the other night about the power of the VP certainly raised my eyebrow:

"I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the president's policies and making sure that our president understands what our strengths are."

Ifill asks "you mentioned a moment ago the constitution might give the VP more power than it has in the past. Do you believe, as VP Cheney Does, that the Executive Branch does not hold complete sway over the office of the VP, that 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 vice president....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."


She outright said she believes Cheney's role has been appropriate, and sounds like she feels the position needs more power.

For a supposed strict constitutional interpreter, Palin sure used the terms *flexible* rather often. "Allow a bit more authority?" What?
