2. Is Cheney allowed to do that? I always thought the VP power |

was limited to a tie breaking vote in the Senate. I didn't think he had the right to sponsor bills!!!!

5. But don't you think the Senators of both parties would be pissed? |
|
Yet again, the Executive Branch is grabbing power from the Legislative Branch. I would think,especially the long term ones, would be really pissed about this!

8. In any other context.... |
|
i'd call this a baseless red-herring. Only currently sitting members of Congress (which does NOT include the v.p.) may introduce legislation. Of course, in our post-republic empire....who knows. Very scary.
