In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

  • Out-Of-Office Experience Voters Hesitate to Elect Those Who Took a Break from Politics by Joshua Spivak
    Saturday, March 26, 2011 Out-of-office experience Voters hesitate to elect those who took a break from politics By Joshua Spivak It’s looking increasingly likely that Republicans will select a presidential candidate who is not currently an officeholder. But a look at history reveals that the American people are not enamored of electing out-of-office candidates. By limiting themselves to people who aren’t in the daily political battlefield, the Republicans may be harming their chances of success in November 2012. Voters’ anti-incumbent sentiment accounts for much of the reason Republicans are lacking office-holding candidates. The 2010 election was noted for its intense anti-incumbent fervor. It wasn’t just that the Democrats were swept out of office in near-record numbers in the House. The real surprise was the strong moves against Republican incumbents. In state after state, Republican incumbents or elected officials seeking to move up were defeated by barely known, sometimes very flawed insurgents. Utah Sen. Bob Bennett lost the party’s nomination, as did Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who won the election regardless by running as a write-in candidate. Delaware Rep. Mike Castle was defeated in the primaries in his search for the Senate by tea party candidate Christine O’Donnell. Similar upsets played out in Nevada, New York, Colorado and Florida. This anti-incumbent fervor has already had a significant impact on the 2012 nomination process. For the first time since 1904, no sitting U.S. senator is seeking the party’s nomination. And with only two sitting governors, Indiana’s Mitch Daniels and Mississippi’s Haley Barbour, and two representatives, Michelle Bachman and Ron Paul, even being discussed as candidates, it is very likely that, for the first time since 1984, a major-party presidential nominee will not be a sitting officeholder.

  • The Economic Cost of the Military Industrial Complex
    The Economic Cost of the Military Industrial Complex By James Quinn "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hope of its children." These must be the words of some liberal Democratic Senator running for President in 2008. But no, these are the words of Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander during World War II, five decades ago. The United States, the only superpower remaining on earth, currently spends more on military than the next 45 highest spending countries in the world combined. The U.S. accounts for 48% of the world’s total military spending. Where did the peace dividend from winning the Cold War go? (click to enlarge images) The United States spends on its military 5.8 times more than China, 10.2 times more than Russia, and 98.6 times more than Iran. The Cold War has been over for 20 years, but we are spending like World War III is on the near term horizon. There is no country on earth that can challenge the U.S. militarily. So, why are we spending like we are preparing for a major conflict? The impression on the rest of the world is that we have aggressive intentions. The administration is posturing like Iran is a threat to our security.

BRINGING THE VICE PRESIDENT INTO THE FOLD: EXECUTIVE IMMUNITY AND THE VICE PRESIDENCY Abstract: The vice presidency of Dick Cheney from 2000 to 2008 raised complicated questions about the constitutional and legal position of the Vice President, including the Vice President's amenability to civil suits for damages. The U.S. Supreme Court's executive immunity jurisprudence has established that the President can claim absolute immunity for official acts, while cabinet members and presidential aides can assert only quali- fied immunity. No court has ever determined if the Vice President should be granted absolute or qualified immunity in civil suits for damages. Ac- knowledging that the vice presidency is an increasingly important politi- cal office, this Note argues that neither the Vice President's constitutional status nor his specific functions justify a grant of absolute immunity, This Note asserts that although the Vice President could claim some limited form of legislative immunity, qualified immunity is the appropriate stan- dard in most suits for damages.

  • OPINION of … (Among Registered Voters) Mccain Giuliani Favorable 31% 41% Not Favorable 20 18 Undecided 28 25 Don’T Know Enough Yet 21 16
    CBS NEWS POLL For Release: Saturday, February 17, 2007 6:30 pm ET MCCAIN, GIULIANI AND THE 2008 REPUBLICAN NOMINATION February 8-11, 2007 Two of the front-runners for the Republican 2008 Presidential nomination, Senator John McCain of Arizona and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, enjoy favorable views from both Republican primary voters and from voters nationwide. Views of Giuliani are especially positive among both moderates and the conservatives that he and McCain are courting. Voters planning to take part in a Republican primary next year think both McCain and Giuliani share their values, but would currently prefer Giuliani over McCain if the nomination fight came down to just the two of them. If the GOP nomination battle came down solely to McCain versus Giuliani, Republican primary voters would pick Giuliani by a wide 50% to 29% margin. In that hypothetical scenario 13% would still favor someone else. Both moderates and conservative primary voters today say they would prefer Giuliani. PREFERENCE IF GOP NOMINATION WERE JUST MCCAIN V. GIULIANI (Among Republican Primary Voters) All Conservatives Moderates Giuliani 50% 48% 55% McCain 29 21 37 Neither 13 19 5 COMPARING THE CANDIDATES Both men have been the subject of questions over how their personalities and styles of governance, as well as issue positions, might help or hinder their chances. In this poll, both are seen as having the right kind of temperament and personality to be President. Most - 59% - of Republican primary voters say McCain does and even more, 76%, say Giuliani does. By a three-to-one margin, primary voters think McCain shares their values (60% say so) and a similar 57% say Giuliani does.

  • The Vice Presidency of Dick Cheney
    Scoundrel or Über-Lieutenant? The Vice Presidency of Dick Cheney Jody C. Baumgartner In this essay I evaluate the vice presidency of Dick Cheney. Although roundly criticized throughout his tenure in the mainstream media and popular press for the policies he advocated and presumably helped implement, his secretive nature, his tendency to subvert standard bureaucratic procedures, and exercising undue influence over the president, there is actually no objective frame- work within which to evaluate vice presidents. After reviewing criticism about Cheney’s tenure in office, I offer an alternative view based on what presidents expect from their vice presidents. From this perspective, in his role as loyal lieutenant for George W. Bush, we are forced to conclude that Cheney was actually a successful vice president. Vice President Dick Cheney has been the subject of numerous stories in the popular press which point to his supposed abuses of power, influence over the president, secretiveness, and more. His list of “sins” includes cater- ing to energy interests in the design of Bush’s energy policy; refusing to produce documents dealing with the crafting of this policy; playing a central role in the decision to invade Iraq; unfairly awarding no-bid contracts to his previous employer, Haliburton; helping the administration execute and jus- tify torture in the War on Terror; and orchestrating the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame (Dubose and Bernstein 2006). In addition, although he is one of the least public of modern vice presi- dents, Cheney has been one of the most ridiculed in popular culture. From the popular perception of Cheney as Darth Vader to the barrage of jokes made at his expense by late night talk show hosts and on the Internet, he is one of the most reviled vice presidents in recent memory, perhaps surpassing even Dan Quayle.
