Politico is reporting that Biden will restore tthe Office of the Vice President to its historical role” as adviser to the president and tie-breaker in the Senate. The vice president will be barred from particpating in senate deliberations. Biden has no intention of attending internal senate deliberations. It looks the Cheney era is over and we're back to complying with the Constitution. If this has been part of Obama's plan, Hillary is better suited as SOS.
Clip:
Elizabeth Alexander, spokesperson for the Vice President-elect, e-mailed in response: "Vice President-elect Biden had no intention of continuing the practice started by Vice President Cheney of regularly attending internal legislative branch meetings — he firmly believes in restoring the Office of the Vice President to its historical role. He and Senator Reid see eye to eye on this.” Cheney has vastly enlarged the office’s power, even claiming at one point that it had a special status beyond both the executive and legislative branches, by virtue of the role of president of the Senate. That’s a largely ceremonial function, except in the case of breaking ties. Exclusive: Biden plans to limit role of vice president - Politico.com Print View

Dick Cheney dropped an odd proclamation last week. It appears that he doesn’t believe he’s part of the Executive Branch, and thus is not subject to their rules regarding disclosure. He’s playing with fire, because if he’s outside the Executive Branch, it’s unclear whose rules he falls under. Cheney is hoping that means he’s not under anyone’s rules, but that’s a tenuous assertion to make.
Now, Rahm Emanuel is going to try to call his bluff. Since Cheney doesn’t believe he’s part of the Executive, Emanuel is going to try to make sure his office— and home— aren’t funded as part of the Executive:
Responding to claims by Vice President Dick Cheney that his office is exempt from disclosing information about what it has classified as secret, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) said Tuesday he will try to cut off the $4.8 million needed annually to run Cheney’s office and home.

LOL!
Can you just imagine Cheney's language when he hears about THAT!!!
Well, I'll give the neocons (and Dick Cheney) only one break in his/their understanding of the role of the Vice President: They did have a Chief Executive who was unable to conduct the duties of their position as leader of the free world, which I know was EXACTLY their plan. It's also why Cheney is truly the embodiment of evil, as it sprang forth chiefly from HIS direction and HIS command. He is the "Decider", not Dubya. Dubya was just the Chief Executive Bumbler who pretended to be in charge

I'm disappointed more political cartoonists didnt make this clear. Some did, mostly in a veiled way, but not enough.

Yup! All true.
But I don't believe that Cheney is the top decider....just maybe the director of operations and controller of bush's liquor cabinet........
