Vice Presidential Election Amendment (Debating)

[Cincinnatus]

Its seems we got VP debate occuring in the cabinet reorganization thread and cabinet talk going on in the VP thread.

Anyway, another issue was raised in the Cabinet reorganization thread and that concerned the independence of the VP with regards to the Presidency. This also dovetails with the concerns that Cassius has brought up. Assuming it is seperately elected, to what extent would the President exercise authority over the office?

This is a fair point, and I will wait until I hear Kal's opinion on this matter, however, I still share the same concerns as before.  The Vice President should play a leading role leading the Senate in full or partial capacity.

This fits the Duke plan like a fing Glove just saying. VP acts as liason between the Senate PPT, House speaker and President. He could preside over any joint sessions, handle the elections of officers of both chambers, confirmation hearings in the Senate and even control emergency slots in both chambers. The opportunities are endless.

I totally agree with you, but obviously passing any major reform plan is the obstacle.
