Recenzii
In an era in which Dick Cheney's political prominence in the executive branch has led some political wags to refer to the policies and actions of the Cheney administration, it is perhaps not surprising to find a text that seeks to reassess the role of the vice presidency in American politics. Baumgartner begins with a characterization of the evolution of the office, focusing for the rest of the work only on the modern era (1956 to the present). He then offers chapters discussing the pre- office attributes and qualifications of vice presidential candidates, the reasons candidates are selected, and the role they play in presidential political campaigns. Next, he analyzes the formal constitutional, statutory, and appointive roles of the vice presidency and its informal ceremonial, diplomatic, political, and advisory roles. The final chapter discusses what happens to vice presidential candidates after they have left office or lost their campaigns.
