My chief credential beyond the Constitutional requirements for POTUS and VP is whether they are willing to attack the political-media cabal that has allowed government, the courts, military, and law enforcement to totally ignore the rule of law.
The executive branch implements everything from the other two branches. It is where the rubber hits the road. From it comes the Cabinet, the regulatory agencies, law enforcement, foreign policy.... everything. And right now all of those things are more corrupt than the Chicago mafia.
If we can’t purge the current systems and get real accountability for the entire bureaucracy, it won’t make any difference what any of the other branches do - because the people actually implementing it all will do whatever they darn well please (whatever serves their own self-interest) with impunity.
I don’t think that somebody who poses as legislatively “moderate” will have what it takes to do the cleaning up that is necessary. Those who vie for the good vomit chunks are not likely to do the really hard, unpopular work of making a system where there’s no vomit to fight over.
I agree wholeheartedly with that statement, however Cain is not “moderate”. In order to implement these goals we first have to get him elected.
The VP position is, in the big scheme of things, rather irrelevant.
However, that position is quite important with the electorate. A swing state candidate with political experience and some moderate views will push Cain over the top.
