Biden Shows Ignorance on Constitution

During the Vice-Presidential debate last night, Joe Biden showed his vast ignorance on the U.S. Constitution.

While shifting into lecture mode in response to Sarah Palin's statement that the Vice-President 'presides' over the Senate, Biden forthrightly made a fool of himself by schooling Palin that 'the only role the Vice-President has in the Senate is to break a tie vote.'

He even cited the specific article of the Constitution that supposedly states this 'fact.'

The problem is, Biden is wrong!

The Constitution states that the Vice-President's role in the Senate is much more than simply casting a tie-breaking vote. The Constitution says that the Vice-President presides over the Senate, as anybody who can read for themselves can see.

Thus, on a MAJOR Constitutional issue, the 'novice' who supposedly is 'not ready to be Vice-President' actually exhibited extensive knowledge of Constitutional concepts while lawyer Joe Biden, who has spent nearly 40 years in the Senate, would fail a high school school test question on the responsibilities of the Vice-President.

Go figure...
