Palin - doesn't even know what Article 1 nor Article 2 of the Constitution says (neither does Cheny for that matter)... In he debate she said she Agreed with Dick Cheney that the VP position is more part of the Legislative branch and that the Consitition gives the VP more Legislative power. Um... WONG missy!

Article 1 Section 3
"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided."
"The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States."

Article 2 Section 1
"The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:"

Sorry Cheny/Palin - Yout part of the EXECUTIVE branch - NOT legislative branch!

Oh and look what we have here:
"In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President."

Guess what the person running for president DOESN'T get to choose the VP! Looks like it's by vote - Which means the one with the most votes is president the one with the second amount of votes is VP.

"In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected."

This covers everything about the Vice President in our Constitution.
