how could someone be running for position without knowing what that position calls for?
48 hours ago or so, Palin got the job description of the VP wrong as head of the senate...that's not a gaffe. it's total ignorance
several weeks ago, she couldn't define the Bush Doctrine.
if I were Sarah, instead of going shopping, I'd do some reading. by the way she does read but she can't remember what book or newspaper she read lol

Palin got the job description of the VP wrong as head of the senate (that would be president or head of the senate).
Actually...that is EXACTLY what it states in the US Constitution. Article 1 Section 3
Feel kind of stupid now yourself?

US Constitution Article 1 Section 3
Section 3 - The Senate
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, (chosen by the Legislature thereof,) (The preceding words in parentheses superseded by 17th Amendment, section 1.) for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; (and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.) (The preceding words in parentheses were superseded by the 17th Amendment, section 2.)
No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

The Vice President does preside over the Senate.
Nope.
As nah highlighted, the Vice President does not preside regularly preside over the Senate, and the only real power he or she has is to break a tie vote. The record holder is John Adams with 29, followed by John C. Calhoun with 28.
The Senate is presided by the Senate President Pro Tempore or his designe, who is usually a junior member of the majority party. That person is referred to as Mr. President. The Senate President Pro Tempore is voted on by the members of the Senate and is traditionally the most senior member of the majority party in the Senate. Currently, the Senate President Pro Tempore is Robert Byrd of West Virginia.

Nope...however, they have the option at any time to do so.

The definition that NAH posted is 100% spot on...and so was Palin.

Do you understand where the word PRESIDENT is derived from?
The Vice PRESIDEnt of the United States shall be PRESIDEnt of the Senate.......
Do I need to be any clearer? 
The Senate President Pro Tempore is voted on by the members of the Senate
You, clearly, have no idea what this means. The Senate President Pro Tempore means the Temporary President of the Senate. The Vice President of the United States is the permanent President of the Senate.
Do you feel stupid yet?

The most common mistake, at least to modern eyes, is the word "choose," spelled "chuse" several times. This is less a mistake than it is an alternate spelling used at the time. The word is found in the Constitution as both "chuse" and "chusing." Link

You are an idiot and an ignorant fool. Read a book or two.
did you, by any chance, go to college? you've shown time without number on here that you're just you
look pal, we can disagree without being disagreable. this counterproductive and crankassitic behavior of yours says much about who you are than it says about me. so go bugger somewhere else!

  Just to add to yours cre8...The Vice Prez is not a subordinate of the Prez. The only way of removal of the Vice Prez is by impeachment.

whoever the moderator is on this forum, you are deleting posts that are relevent to the discussions and making the threads seem disjointed. This is politics, not patty cake. We can police ourselves and we do. You need to back off a lot. We will let you know when members are out of bounds. If you keep being as draconian as you have been lately, you will turn this into the patty cake forum and it won't be worth visiting. Back off.

Heck even Charlie Gibson screwed up on the Bush Doctrine! He called it "pre-emptive" military action, which the correct is "preventive" military action. Sarah's response answers to the Bush Doctrine were "preventive."

that's exactly what the bush doctrine is all about. the key word there is "preemptive". The word preemption as opposed to reaction basically summarises the bush doctrine meaning the use of military forces to provide an avenue to achieve U.S. objectives by taking actions without a reasonable cause.
To put it in a layman's way of thinking, this means the bush doctrine, when it comes to foreign policy, is all about shoot first and then ask questions later.  . which confirms why we invaded Iraq - a country which had nothing to do with 9/11

That's one aspect of one of the Bush Doctrines Will. In what respect is the question meaning? Which doctrine and which part?
Comon, you only have a few more to go and then you'll have part of the answer to the question asked of her.

Easy Gman, trying to coax some knowledge out of the guy who is smarter than Palin. She asked Gibson what aspect he was talking about and Will was not even aware that there is more than one Bush doctrine. He's trying to get them together right now to figure out which one of them Gibson was talking about (providing of course that Gibson himself knew there were more than one)
Give him time.
