The Use Of Electors: Clarification-Part Twenty-Two

The American Constitution clearly cites that the Vice-President should be the President of the U.S. Senate only. It clearly did not state that the Vice-President should have any executive responsibilities even though the Vice-President was and still is considered to be an executive position. The Constitution also cited that the Vice-President is to be a non-voting member in that federal upper house body.

The Vice-President never had any executive responsibilities until the arrival of the 20th century. Since the federal government has been the sovereign government authority since the end of the American Civil War, it is even more important that the Vice-President go back to serving as the non-voting President Of The U.S. Senate.

Division of government and separation of powers has been much more needed since the conclusion of the Civil War. Its aftermath made the federal government much more powerful. For checks and balances to be preserved, the Vice-President as a head executive should not have executive responsibilities.

This also holds true for Lieutenant Governor as each state, according to the American Constitution, should have a Republic form of government. Moreover, since states became franchises of the federal government due to the 14th Amendment, it is much more important that the states have the same proper divisions of governance.

For checks and balances to be maintained, separation of powers is absolutely essential. Co-mingling of authority and responsibilities should not exist. Therefore, the Lieutenant Governor should only serve as the president of the state senate!
