Maybe George thought the VP was the VERY President.

8. Define "in charge". The Vice President is the presiding officer of the Senate.....

US Constitution.....

"Section 3, Clause 4:

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided."

9. I'd be more sympathetic of Palin if she had better character and was a leader. If she stood up to...

...McKlan and stopped the terrorist shit

10. I was looking for the "hell no!" option.

13. Clarifications....

The executive branch doesn't control the legislative branch.

Our government is a bottom up government. :)

I look at as a constant ebb and flow of influence between the three branches but non with control of the other two. It's a beautiful balancing act.
