Vice-presidency
John Nance Garner disparagingly quipped, “ [it] wasn’t worth a pitcher of warm spit.” Charles Dawes reciprocated his successors’ denigration by sniping, “This is a hell of a job. I can only do two things: one is sit up here and listen to you birds talk…the other is to look at newspapers every morning to see how the President’s health is.” Additionally, even John Adams, one of the most revered and illustrious pioneers of our democratic state, vilified the office he was first to hold, as, “…the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.” If the office, prey to the verbal assails above isn’t apparent to you, then I should divulge the obvious: it is the United States Office of the Vice Presidency. The American Vice-Presidency, despite once serving as a stepping stone for fourteen future presidents, has candidly always been regarded as the most ineffective and ignored Constitutional office in the U.S. These days, on the forefront of the twenty first century, we are far from being embroiled in a constitutional crisis debating the necessity of this office, yet the proposition to abolish the vice-presidency
One can argue that the “important point,” which I indicated earlier would be a future reference, is a bust. I had suggested, that the founding fathers believed the VPs most considerable duty was to maintain the integrity of the system created, by ensuring its continuation and efficiency as successor to the Presidency, if it were needed.
