I don't think this was one Nancy Pfotenhauer's better days. Chris Matthews hammered her on not knowing what the Constitution says about the role of the vice-president (in wake of Sarah Palin not knowing either). Bill Burton of the Obama campaign got in one sentence, letting Pfotenhauer twist in the wind.

  • Heres more facts.....

    FACT: The vice president's only power is to break ties in congress and succeed the president should they be unable to perform the requred duties

    FACT: The media's role and reason for there being a "freedom of he press" is to be able to inform the people of the government's actions which includes criticizing the government

    FACT: Dick Cheney has overstepped his constitutional authority and should be prosecuted for it

  • There are three INDEPENDENT,clearly separated,BRANCHES of any democratic government:

    Executive(President&Vicepresid­ent)

    Parlamentary(Congress)

    Judiciary(Judges)

    It is called DIVISION OF POWER,as in,through CHECK AND BALANCES,to prevent that someone,or government itself,concentrateS too much power,turning a democratic society into an authoritarian regime.

    That is why the Vicepresident, being part of the EXECUTIVE,IS ONLY ALLOWED TO CAST A VOTE IN CONGRESS WHEN NEEDED A TIE-BREAKER.

    And that's it

  • This makes me wonder what Palin thinks is the job of the president! Frightening.

  • McCain seems to pick these women based on their head shots. Palin and Pfotenhauer did huuuuge damage to his campaign.

  • "Smile and nod, just smile and nod. It'll be over soon."

  • @Herbunder he was asking the role according to the constitution

  • wow, he was pretty hard on her. i wouldn't mind doing that too.

  • Neither of those women know anything. 

  • Am i the only one here seeing a Joe biden bias here?, they are arguing about something stupid, and is just a way of saying that Biden is better than palin, I dont really care for neither of them, but is interesting how the media uses such small things like this to brain wash people. no one cares about the fucking vice president, the vice president does nothing for the fucking country, really, lets worry about something more meaningful like....i dont know,.. Global Warming?

  • To say that the vice president has no role in influencing policy and advising the president is simply absurd.  It is obvious that the Vice President is not allowed to overstep the authority of the president, dictate policy, or operate outside of the Presidential supervision. How does Matthews define the role so strictly, but in regards to Biden active policy role says "it's up to the president"?

    Ms Pfotenhauer simply made the mistake of appearing on this loony toon's show.
