The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that. And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit. The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress.","author":"Joe Biden","tags":["2008-presidential-election","america","constitution","debates","dick-cheney","vice-president"],"id":143935,"author_id":"Joe+Biden"},{"text":"If we are to put an end to division, people from all political persuasions will have to stop fighting one another and seek true unity, not just a consensus that benefits one party.","author":"Ben Carson","tags":["america","compromise","debates","politics","unity"],"id":151806,"author_id":"Ben+Carson"},{"text":"Our enemies are quite good for relentlessly keeping us sharp and on our toes.
