The Vice President is not subordinate to the President. Constitutionally the Vice President is not a member of the executive branch, but is a member of the legislative branch. There is no reason why a vice presidential candidate and a presidential candidate must have the same policy views.

Technically, that's correct, but politically, it's a nuclear minefield. I've already discussed which type of issues a VP candidate can disagree with a Pres. candidate on...

How often does one hear a VP or VP candidate disagree with their "boss" on a major issue, even when you know such disagreements must exist? It doesn't happen - for good reason.

G’night, kids. It’s been interesting. :-)
