Vice President Pence Cast Tie Breaking Vote
- Thread starter esmith
- Start date
First time in history for a cabinet appointment to happen this way, which goes to show how unpopular a choice this was. Hopefully she'll do better than predicted, and won't succeed in allowing tax dollars to go to for profit and religious schools like she wants.

But look at the bright side! We no longer need to wonder what a prequel to Idiocracy would look like.
So, instead of finding a candidate that can be confirmed by a Republican controlled Senate, he doubles down.
That doesn't bode well for the future.

Good.
Your quote at the end of your post was the best political statement ever made To bad that is not the thinking of us all.

Think you better check your sources for accuracy. Give you a hint it has happened 245 times by 36 VP's

This is like making Sarah Palin Secretary of State.

and we had a President for the last 8 years that did not have any leadership experience to start with. duh
I wasn't talking about VP tie breaking votes, I was talking about this position's appointment.
That is from an article by NBC. Maybe it's that fake news mainstream media lying again.

They have a majority and still have to resort to a tie breaker. Why not try to pass something their majority can agree on?
Vice President Al Gore cast a tie breaking vote on ,I believe it was some type of gun legislation back in the nineties. I remember the vote, not 100% sure on the legislation.
To repeat, I'm not talking about VP tie breaking being something that never happened. I'm talking about a cabinet appointment being made through VP tie break. That's what's not happened before.

For a cabinet position, yes, so I helped qualify what you posted for you.
For her to be appointed with no experience in this arena, along with her agenda to dismantle public schools that teach well over 90% of America's youth, this vote was basically the Republicans screwing America's children.
We've had to put up with her here in Michigan for many years now, and she helped pushed charter schools here that actually have been testing worse than the public schools on the average. But the racists and bigots love her because they can have government funds fiance more segregated charter schools, thus reducing monies for public schools where most of our children go.
So, between the well-being of the vast majority of our children versus making money by creating more segregated schools, the latter was far more important to them.

Gotcha. I misunderstood.
You mean like the current president?
