It states that the only VOTE a VP has is to break a tie, but otherwise is President of the Senate with the details of the role being unspecified. The early VPs (Adams, Jefferson, Burr) presided over the Senate on a regular basis and made decisions about procedure. The President pro tempore does that now only because the VPs cant be bothered, not because the Constitution wouldnt allow a VP to do so. <br><br>I am hugely anti-Palin but my fellows on the left bungled this criticism.

She is not the majority leader of the senate. If you read the constitution it states they are the president but serves no role other than to break a tie vote. She has "No Power" over the Senate. Lets clarify that.. She was not talking to a third grader. She was answering a 3rd graders question on television speaking to the public. The only power a VP has is to break a tie vote.

Not her comment but yours. *She was talking to a third grader.* And her original comment about the constitutional role of the VP in the senate is spot on: the VP is the "president" of the Senate. He or she has as much power as he or she can negotiate with the SML and the rules commission. In fact, the VP could have quite a bit of power just by showing up every day. Once again, her answers were perfect, and you guys don't know what you are talking about. Hilarious.
