24. Office and duties of the Vice President (according to the US Constitution)

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 chuse 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.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice-President chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

3. Now why did it take Palin' so long to get that little blurb of a summary?

Hmmmm?

[minnesota_liberal]

4. That 'letter' doesn't substitute for the med records she hasn't released

McSame hasn't released his either.

[illuminaughty]

17. Don't think I've posted this before

But I was at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale in August 2000, same time as John McCain and the melanoma surgery.
Actually, one day an elevator opened and there was...Bob Dole. (just another fun fact from my strange life)

Anyway, I had my medical records shipped from Kansas City and the neurologist at Mayo said when they came down the hall with them he thought they were delivering a CAKE. My point is that NOBODY has ONE letter that sums up your health. It's bullshit.

[CoffeeCat]

5. Is this the same quack who advised Palin...

...to travel for 10 hours on an airplane--after her water broke and while
she began the early stages of labor in a high-risk pregnancy with a diabled
child?

That Doctor?

Lovely.

[LibDemAlways]

9. One and the same. Wonder how much McCain had to

hand over in unmarked bills in order to get her to come up with this latest pile of steaming hot bullshit.

[uppityperson]

11. jcoath, not much of an endorsement, though I don't think the doc told her it was ok, only that "they

spoke",

[Ian David]

38. She wanted Trig to be born in her home country, the Independent State of Alaska. n/t

[mth44sc]

6. she's got no heath problems to prevent it

she's got no skills to advocate it...

[tridim]

7. You betcha!

[BadgerKid]

8. But the Dr. has "no experience" certifying US VP candidates.

Talking point courtesy the McCain camp.

[osmium]

10. Doesn't matter, in fact..

No experience in a matter is a plus - as long as you do it, 'all mavericky and stuff.'

[notheyrejustwrong]

12. Well, OK, PHYSICALLY she's healthy

Mental health?
BATSHIT CRAZY!

[jennied]

13. Of course she's healthy...

But that's not all we need to know.

[RCinBrooklyn]

14. The doctor confirmed that she indeed a pig with lipstick.

[hameggandcheese]

15. I wanted Trig not to be hers

I was one of those who wrote threads about Trig not being hers. Now I feel like an ass.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. That doesn't mean her husband is the father.

:hug:

[Kali]

20. you wrote threads and yet you have only 2 posts?

[Muttocracy]

27. looks like it's dead again. nt

[wtmusic]

25. You were right, Trig isn't hers

she's lying and this doctor helped her cover it up. You can feel like an ass for other reasons, if you like.

Don't worry, all over tomorrow :cry:

[orleans]

29. bye...bye...baby bye bye

[fasttense]

40. Don't feel bad, a doctor's letter is NOT a release of medical records.

A doctor can write anything. Interesting that Trig was early and yet she still spent 11 hours on an airplane with her water broken.

[Haole Girl]

16. I'll always wonder what she's hiding. (nt)

[TygrBright]

18. Well, that's one way to get out of fessing up to the boob job. n/t

[raysr]

22. Maybe a "camel toes"

job for Johnnie also!

[wtmusic]

23. By the same physician Palin appointed to a prestigious state health panel

and who delivered Bristo - er, Palin's baby Trig? :eyes:

[Dems4me]

26. Wheres her MENTAL health record Repugs? Probably long gone by now. n/t

[Indenturedebtor]

28. I assume that she didn't undergo a mental checkup? n/t

[trusty elf]

35. the straitjacket express?

[Indenturedebtor]

36. LOL that is sheer genius rofl n/t

[orleans]

30. a letter? who gives a fuck? i want to see those medical records. n/t

[Porschenut1066]

31. You don't suppose Palin had an abortion when she was younger

and her full medical records would have shown that? It takes time to clean up medical records but it is done.

[krkaufman]

32. Really sorta stupid to be releasing them now, I'd think ...

... since it reminds people how little she's been vetted.

[Frank Cannon]

33. "Signed, Epstein's Mother"

Another long-distance medical exam brought to you by the GOP.

That baby is SO not hers.

[superconnected]

34. Always trying to steal headlines from Mccain.

I bet he can't wait until he dumps her tomorrow night.

This is only her trying to keep herself in the news.

[WA98296]

37. Ok, now it's official, Palin is hiding something, something big.

[clixtox]

39. More than likely, quite a few embarrassing things... N/T

[and-justice-for-all]

41. Who gives a shit...nt

[FreeStateDemocrat]

42. NY Times whitewash: "Palin Aides Release Her Medical History"

Medical history is defined as, "a two-page, seven-paragraph letter by her doctor released late Monday night." Easy to see how the NY Times was a prime outlet for the rush to war in Iraq propaganda machine.

[IggleDoer]

43. Nothing about birth control?

The American people should know how many more children she plans to have.

[Javaman]

44. scrub a dub dub. nt

[damntexdem]

45. Surely that assessment doesn't include mental health.
