Today's posting is on topic of the role of Vice President as President of Senate and voting power. Of course, we will never forget former Governor and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's interpretation of the role of the Vice President. Obviously, Palin never read the U.S. Constitution for the Vice President of the U.S.' job position:
"They're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom."---Sarah Palin [Getting the US vice president's constitutional role wrong after being asked by a third grader what the vice president does, interview with NBC affiliate KUSA in Colorado, October 21, 2008.]
Article I Section 3
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
Remember in 2001 when Cheney's tie breaking vote gave a GOP Senate majority?

In the first half of 2001, the Senators were divided 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats and Dick Cheney's tie-breaking vote gave the Republicans the Senate majority.
