Vice President - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Germany, the de facto vice president is the President of the Bundesrat (upper house) and in France it is the speaker of the Senate. Vice Presidents are often elected jointly with the president as his or her running mate, elected separately, or appointed independently after the president's election. In politics, a vice president is a politician whose primary function is to replace the president on the event of his or her death or resignation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vice_president   (587 words)

Vice President of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There is a strong convention within the U.S. Senate that the Vice President not use his position as President of the Senate to influence the passage of legislation or act in a partisan manner, except in the case of breaking tie votes. John Adams, the first Vice President, described it as "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived." Even 150 years later, 32nd Vice President John Nance Garner famously described the office as "not worth a pitcher of warm piss" (at the time reported with the bowdlerization "spit"). The 12th Amendment discourages the Vice President from legally residing in the same state as the President, as Electors must vote for at least one candidate not in the same state as themselves. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States   (3221 words)

U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > People > Officers & Staff > Vice President of the United States (President of the Senate) While vice presidents have used their votes chiefly on legislative issues, they have also broken ties on the election of Senate officers, as well as on the appointment of committees in 1881 when the parties were evenly represented in the Senate. Of the fourteen vice presidents who fulfilled their ambition by achieving the presidency, eight succeeded to the office on the death of a president, and four of these were later elected president. Although the office of vice president did not exist under the Continental Congresses or the Articles of Confederation, the concept of a concurrently elected successor to the executive was not without precedent for the framers of the Constitution in 1787. www.senate.gov /artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Vice_President.htm   (6117 words)

MoveOn PAC President Bush said in his speech Monday night that the war in Iraq is "the central front in the war on terror." It's not the central front in the war on terror, but it has unfortunately become the central recruiting office for terrorists. The President convinced the country with a mixture of forged documents and blatantly false assertions that Saddam was in league with Al Qaeda, and that he was "indistinguishable" from Osama bin Laden. This new political viciousness by the President and his supporters is found not only on the campaign trail, but in the daily operations of our democracy. political.moveon.org /goreremarks052604.html   (5124 words)

Cheney Dismisses Critic With Obscenity (washingtonpost.com) Even if the Senate were in session, the vice president, though constitutionally the president of the Senate, is an executive branch official and therefore free to use whatever language he likes.

"Vice Grip" by Joshua Micah Marshall As the article explained, Rice--the relatively junior member of the president's inner circle of foreign policy advisers--had to take the vice president aside and walk him through how to repair the damage he'd done, with a new statement implicitly retracting his earlier gaffe. In a July speech, the vice president had argued that weapons inspections in Iraq were useless and shouldn't even be tried. Early last December, Vice President Dick Cheney was dispatched to inform his old friend, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, that he was being let go. www.washingtonmonthly.com /features/2001/0301.marshall.html   (1962 words)

ThisNation.com--Why did the Founding Fathers create the Vice Presidency? The Vice President's role as the Senate's tiebreaker, while not centrally important to the American constitutional system, was taken seriously by the Framers.

The office of the Vice Presidency was clearly an afterthought at the Constitutional Convention. www.thisnation.com /question/039.html   (758 words)
