    The presiding officer of the Senate that day (Rockefeller shakes his hand on the rostrum shortly after swearing in) was President pro tempore of the Senate, Sen. James O. Eastland (D-MS), who was one of the staunch anti-integration Southern Democrats who helped maintain the post-New Deal Democratic coalition for so long. Eastland was, at the time, was the most senior member of the majority party who is then President pro tempore or president of the Senate in the absence of a Vice President.

As a Libertarian he didn't think it was the governments business. The modern Libertarians are anti-choice, so the modern Libertarians aren't even true Libertarians anymore. Goldwater was also for gays serving in the military. I remember him saying gays have served in the military since the times of Julius Caesar. I also remember Goldwater saying "you don't have to be straight to serve, you just have to shoot straight".

      Ford wanted to keep Rockefeller but after a tight contest with Reagan in the 1976 Primaries, Ford's advisors urged him to pick a more Conservatives VP to make sure the Reaganites showed up to vote. Rockefeller meanwhile understood the situation and basically told Ford he would stay on, only if Ford urged him to stay, but otherwise Rockefeller would refuse the nomination (and to be fair to Ford most Republicans wanted Rockefeller out, especially Reaganites). Ford skeptically agreed and later Bob Dole became the VP candidate. Ford later said that he wished he had urged Rockefeller to stay. Ford and Rockefeller disagreed on policy as Ford was more to the center of the Republican Party (to the left of Reagan but to the right of Rockefeller) and Rockefeller was a liberal Republican. However despite their disagreements Rockefeller was loyal to Ford and helped get compromises passed between the Republican President and Democratic Senate. Ford was very appreciative of Rockefeller and I'm sure Ford would've kept Rockefeller if he had to have done it over again.

      @walterfielding9079 Год назад +2

      @MADVOCATE 000 Potentially, but if Ford had picked Rockefeller, the Reaganites would've hated it, and there's a chance some of those folks would've simply stayed home instead of picking between Ford/Rockefeller and Carter/Mondale. Ford was in a tight position no matter what he did. Any decision made ran the risk of making some group of voters mad. Picking Dole made the moderate wing skeptical, and Dole said some outlandish comments during the 1976 campaign. If Ford had picked someone else, it would've ran another risk we haven't discussed. Ford was in tough position and no matter what he did, someone was going to get mad.

Also-via pressure from conservative Republicans-Ford dropped Rockefeller from the 1976 Republican presidential/vice presidential ticket in late 1975. After narrowly defeating Ronald Reagan for the nomination in August, 1976-Ford chose longtime Kansas senator Bob Dole to be his vice presidential running mate; sadly enough-Ford and Dole were narrowly defeated by the liberal Democrat ticket of former Georgia governor Jimmy Carter and longtime Minnesota senator Walter Mondale.

      Why? What is the problem with it? The Vp should have more power in the administration then they do that is what should change.

      @@stickitinyourear2011 So, the senate is legislative branch and the VP is executive branch. They need to be totally separate. I don't mind the VP having more power in the executive branch but he shouldn't part of the actual passing of legislation and confirming supreme court justices. He shouldn't be creating a majority where no majority exists.

      @@J.B24 I think its good to remind the legislative branch that the executive branch still has power. Especially in the senate, which used to be filled with politicians chosen by their state's governors. I think its good to have visual reminder that the executive branch is important, plus its not good for laws the tie to be thrown out, it makes it look like the country is divided. With the VP, it can get passed or rejected based on how the people (the ticket the people elected) feel. And it can always get changed later by a different ticket, elected by the people.

      @@mcapple7651 Not sure what you're talking about here but separation of powers means just that: SEPARATION. Plus, all you have to do is look at the last 4 years and see just exactly why this should be. The independent body should be the one who confirms judges, not vice presidents breaking the tie. I like the way they do it in great britain. They're speaker does not make a majority where a majority doesn't already exist, therefore they don't vote in the affirmative for tie breaking votes.
