He’s not a VP either. Because his boss is a fraud who does not qualify to be CIC.

"My background is screwing up foreign policy and eviscerating the Constitution."

Fixed.

I hope that doesn’t mean he’s President.

Better the buffoonish Biden than the marxist quisling Obama.

Please explain to me, Mr. Vice President, how anything that is not done personally and exclusively by the President himself is above your paygrade???

“It’s complicated,” he acknowledged. “But the fact is that there has been no challenge to the methodology the Council of Economic Advisers has come up with, known to national economists as being reasonable to the estimates we have as to the actual jobs saved or created.”

There has been no challenge because nobody knows what the methodology is! That, and we would be accused of being racist by demanding an answer.

“I’m sorry I’m not an economist,” Biden said as he was describing the methodology. “My background is foreign policy and the constitution. “

Biden Gaffed on the Constitution when he said that Article I of the Constitution covered the executive branch when it fact it covers the Congress. Not a mistake a judiciary member should make.

Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we’ve had probably in American history. 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.

Ouch…. and it gets worse…Biden’s entire point that Cheney is the most dangerous VP in history because Cheney said that he can go and preside over the Senate as President of the Senate… well Cheney is right folks.. The VP is the President of the Senate and only casts a vote if there is a tie, but he can preside over the Senate if they are in session. The President Pro-Tempore is the temporary President of the Senate as long as the VP is not there. Biden was just plain wrong. Don’t believe me?

U.S. Constitution – Article I Section III

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 (old English spelling folks) 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.

Somebody tell this maroon that it doesn't matter if him or the President are, only that they're competent enough to bring in those economists who can do the best for the people. They missed that one.
