What Vice Presidential candidate said about a month ago she didn't know what a Vice President does?

Question

Does she know today?

Answer 1

In fairness, there are few specific duties assigned to the Vice President. And the role changes from administration to administration. d**k Cheney has been a powerful advisor, but Al Gore was almost a deputy president as well. George Bush had little influence, while Spiro Agnew was invisible.

Answer 2

Not surprising.  Does anyone really know what a Vice President does...

Essentially he(she) is supposed to preside over the House and be ready to take over as president in case he gets harpooned.

Answer 3

neither vice president said that

Here is Palins ACTUAL WORDS

“[A]s for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S. before I can even start addressing that question.”

She’s making a point that should appeal to feminists especially: It’s not that she has distaste for the job, it’s that she’d have distaste for the job if it meant nothing more than serving as window dressing for McCain. A job with “fruitful,” meaningful responsibilities, especially with respect to energy policy, is a different ballgame. But I see its already time for plenty of distortions of what she actually said

Answer 4

Beauty Palin...Lol!

Answer 5

The only thing a Vice President really does is what the president has them do. As recent as WWII the Vice Presidency was compared to a "warm bucket of spit". The only function they are actually assigned to by the constitution is to preside over the senate as "president of the senate" and vote to break ties and that's it and most Vice Presidents don't hang out on the senate floor. I wonder how many people actually knew that much including the poster of the question.
