They had indeed not thought of it. You're close and on the right track, but you're not thinking quite as creatively as Republicans must to defeat the perfidious Democrats. We shall see what we shall see.

TOMORROW THE VICE PRESIDENT PLANS A VISIT TO THE SENATE!
Remember this is all about the trashing of the constitution by democrats.......
,,,,,,,The Senate members in all of their supposed wisdom do not understand their duties, much less the entire Constitution. That is painfully obvious when they speak and write. Their duties are advice and consent with nothing more and nothing less. The word advice causes a bit of a problem but the definition of it is to give opinion and on that they fall short of understanding. They think their duty is to dictate to the President what person is sent or who is not sent for consent. The duty they have is part of the balance to protect the Constitution, not an exercise in choosing those with the proper socialist ideology, which they favor.

the oath the VP takes......
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
