Not only VP candidates don't get to serve in that role for half a term because they were tied VP, Kingpoleon who gave up his chance to be VP was not approved for a Cabinet role in the confirmation hearing. He can't even claim a consolation prize. Nice collaborating spirit.
This is not the case. NCYankee promised to keep me on for his part of the time. Judging by rpryor's barely subtle harsh criticism of me, I would guess that RPryor would not agree with such a decision.
This is not NCYankee's fault. This is the fault of a joke of a confirmation hearing where Scott claimed to have vague concerns after asking two or three questions. As for his vague concerns, I wish that he had been more specific. PiT and JCL asked no questions, despite the fact that their concerns obviously were great enough to vote against me. If a concern can't be clarified, that seriously concerns me as to what I have done wrong so that two Senators find ample reason to vote against me without asking a single question.
In short, the confirmation hearing period probably should have been extended by someone who wanted to ask more questions or be more specific, rather than vote against me without asking any questions.
