How many ways can she demonstrate that she shouldn't even be considered for the job?

Exactly.

Gee, I wonder how she feels about the concept of the Unitary Executive?

I'd like to give her a urinary executive. What a dumb bimbo.

Heh, I think the real question is if she understands either of the words in the phrase "Unitary Executive".

just ran across this and thought i'd share. it seems as if she doesn't take any of these questions seriously.

Maybe we can get Biden to tell her what the job of the vp is. He teaches constitutional law, and he should know.

Why don't we just cut out the middle man and have him BE the Vice President?

VP's *are* in charge of the senate. In fact, they're referred to as the "President of the Senate" and can issue tie-breaking votes.

Issuing a tie-breaking vote does not make you 'in charge of' the senate. The legislative branch is designed to be mostly independent of the executive branch. Claiming that the VP is in charge of the senate is akin to saying that the VP controls the senate.

Being the president of the senate and in charge of the senate are two very different things, until Cheney decided that they should be the same.

so maybe she's going with the modern definition?

Right, I understand that, however to give her the benefit of the doubt, I believe she was trying to phrase her response so that a 2nd grader might understand.

so what we're seeing here is that she can't even be trusted to answer questions from 2nd graders without making a public fool of herself?

Piper. That's the only thing I remember from her mouth. Poor child, I can see she'll need a good psychiatrist soon.
