Indirect Democracy

The Role of the Vice President - It is easily the most misunderstood and undefined role of the Executive Branch. For the past 20 years, the role of the Vice President has grown in stature. Yet, we still wonder at what it means to be the Vice President and if Gov. Sarah Palin not only understands the defined role of the Vice President but is she also qualified to be the Vice President? In this podcast, I will read to you a historical perspective from the U.S. Senate website that discusses how the Vice President "presides" over the Senate and how we determine its place in the Legislative and Executive Branches of our Government. Also, there is the Global Warming Update, the President's Love Horoscope, a Public Service Announcement and the What a Weinie Award. Thanks for listening.
