With all the people calling Sarah dumb and inexperienced, I'd take her experience as a Gov of Alaska,her determination to reform the way things are done in Washington over a bumbling, experienced, wrong on every foreign policy stand VP candidate and a inexperienced radical activist Presidential candidate.

The Vice President is mentioned in Article II as part of the executive branch, but he is given legislative powers by Section 3 of Article 1, which establishes the Senate: The Vice Presiident of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
