Asked by a news reporter what a vice president does, Gov. Palin said, "They're in charge of the U.S. Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes."
I think the only time the vice president has a vote in the Senate is in the event of a tie vote. Since the U.S. Senate was established, there have been very few times this has happened. Eleven vice presidents have never cast a tie-breaking vote and four vice presidents have cast 1 tie-breaker each.
I hope Gov. Palin would not be disappointed if she had to work crossword puzzles from the chair.
