"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.

The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the office of President of the United States."


Well, she did state prior to her getting chosen that someone would have to tell her "what exactly the Vice Presdient does", so it isn't a surprise. It looks like nobody told her.


..Haha, they're playing that clip on David Gregory's show now too. They're calling it a Dan Quayle moment.
