If the Vice President directed Graham to have a meeting with him, I don't think that Graham can say no. That would be like one of us saying no to our Vice President of our company. Call the secretary and say “Sorry but I don't think I will be coming to the meeting today...”. We would not be in the job very much longer. Does Graham have the choice to say no to the Vice President? I would say that would be bold and not a good idea. I guess the Vice President could not fire Graham but there has to be some sort of punishment for disobeying the Vice President. I would love to say “XO I am not coming to the meeting you called me too”. I would be up on changes in two seconds or at least get a horrible evaluation my next look.I would not last three seconds in politics. I could never be disrespectful to senior people. How can these politicians do this???? I guess being in the military for 23 years does not allow for this type of thing...lol.

You have an interesting point. But I can pretty much tell you that it is the private, one on one meetings with no press attention...with principals....that is the reason for concern. This is where the strong arming takes place and the deals are made. Even Senators have a tendency to get called to the WH in groups, not individually. Staff take most of the meetings unless there is a decision that only the principal can make....

See why this is so odd? For a Veep to spend his valuable time with one Senator....it just signals to me that there is something goin’ on.

Surely you don’t believe the military chain of command or the employee/employer relationship is akin to the relationship between different branches of our government!!

Graham is supposed to represent his constituents - which he does not. Our VP is the mentally impaired lap puppie for our commie executive leader. Get it straight.

Graham doesn't work for the executive branch and Biden's not his boss.

"That would be like one of us saying no to our Vice President of our company." What?

It would be like saying no to a VP from another company who is your competitor. That is unless you are selling corporate secrets to them!

Time to take charge Sarge....either lead follow or get outta the way

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Any legislator can tell the executive branch to screw off.
