	Interview of the Vice President by Jim Angle of Fox TV News
		THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, I think in terms of loss, one of the things that comes to mind is the sense of invulnerability that we've enjoyed now for a couple of centuries as a country.
		THE VICE PRESIDENT: It used to be if you worried about nuclear weapons, or biological or chemical weapons, you worried about the capabilities of a state, of another government.
		Vice President, thank you very much for your time, sir.

	Spain: Spain Today
		Spain is now the world's eighth most powerful economy - an impressive position to have achieved given just 25 years of economic freedom.
		Conversely, Spain itself is becoming increasingly attractive to outside interest and is now ranked as the tenth most popular destination for investment, while Spanish companies have become world leaders in a variety of sectors and the nation's up-and-coming SMEs are set to follow their example.
		Spain's transition from being a receiver of aid in the early 1980s to its current position as one of the globe's principal donors highlights just how far the country has come.

	U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > Garret Augustus Hobart, 24th Vice President (1897-1899)
		By the time convention delegates chose the last nineteenth-century vice president, they had come to regard that office as little more than a "fifth wheel to the executive coach." The nomination was in their view simply a device for balancing the ticket, either by ideology or by region.
		President Grover Cleveland had carried the state in 1892, but, during the economic depression that followed, both houses of the legislature and the governorship of New Jersey went Republican, suggesting that the state could be taken by the national ticket in 1896.
		Although the vice president was not invited to join meetings of the cabinet, the president and cabinet members consulted with him freely.

	Vice-President George Clinton
		He was the second vice president to serve under Thomas Jefferson, having replaced fellow New Yorker Aaron Burr whose intransigence in 1800 had nearly cost Jefferson the presidency.
		The vice president's own state was particularly vulnerable, because New York shippers and merchants suffered heavily from British raids, yet Jefferson's proposed solution of an embargo on foreign trade would have a devastating impact on the state's economy.
		President Madison was among the official mourners, although he and the first lady held their customary reception at the Executive Mansion the following day.

	Dead Vice Presidents
		Among vice presidents, Morton lived to be the second oldest (the oldest was John Nance Garner who lived to the age of 98).
		His one important act as vice president was to cast the tie-breaking vote in 1899 against an amendment to the treaty with Spain that would have promised future independence for the Philippine Islands.
		Vice president Fairbanks' sympathies plainly lay with the Senate, and when his term ended in 1909, he used his farewell address to launch a vigorous defense of his Senate colleagues.

		The task facing Rato as Spain's new Finance Minister was to manage economic policy such that the regions would get the extra money they were promised while the central government at the same time attempted to reduce its budget deficit and meet the other terms of the Maastricht treaty.
		Rato believes the euro will be "a stable and strong currency." Spain views the introduction of a single currency as "the needed response to the challenges of globalization of all economic activities," said Rato.

	First Vice President of the Government (Spain) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Vice President of the Government of Spain, Vicepresidente del Gobierno in Spanish, is the second in command to the Prime Minister of Spain, filling in for him when he is absent or incapable of exercising his power.
		Being a constitutional monarchy, the government of Spain is headed by a Prime Minister, but the official title in Spanish is Presidente del Gobierno, literally President of the Government.
		Therefore, the Spanish Vice President of the Government is actually the equivalent of a Deputy Prime Minister, not a Vice President.

	The American Presidents Series
		He is among the sixteen U.S. presidents elected to two terms, and he avoided the tarnish of major scandal.
		McKinley is one of eight presidents who, either in the White House or on the battlefield, led the nation in successful wars; more important, he is among the six or seven whose election led to a major realignment of the U.S. party system.
		In fact, the author goes so far as to insist, 'By any serious measurement, William McKinley was a major American president.' Of course, Phillips is not asking that the twenty-fifth president (whose tenure ran from 1897 to 1901) be considered a first-rank chief executive, alongside Washington and Lincoln.

		Our relations with Spain, which ought to be of the most friendly character, must always be placed in jeopardy whilst the existing colonial government over the island shall remain in its present condition.
		On the other hand, should the constitutional party prevail and their authority be established over the Republic, there is reason to hope that they will be animated by a less unfriendly spirit and may grant that redress to American citizens which justice requires so far as they may possess the means.
		It is true that on a sudden emergency of this character the President would direct any armed force in the vicinity to march to their relief, but in doing this he would act upon his own responsibility.
