They don't stand for anything. It's a short way of saying 'VP' = 'vee pee' = 'veep' for short.\n\n'Jeep' came about the same way. It's short for 'GP' which is short for 'General Purpose' (I think).

John Stewart, is a shoe in for President, and so is Arnold, if he wasn't an immigrant.  Now Martha Stewart wouldn't make a bad Senator, seeing as she recruites the youth to do her business... XD\nOh, yeah, Oprah Whimphrey wouldn't be a bad candidate for vice president.  Give it up to Marilyn Manson for Secretary of State, and those boys from Pennywise would be prefect for the House.

Yes, a 2-term President can become Vice President.\n\nMost former presidents seem to get away from politics after their presidency though.  They make a ton of money in the private sector and on the lecture circuit.  And anyway, it's sort of like taking a demotion.\n\nMost Vice Presidents only take the job because it gives them an inside track on gaining support (as well as funding)to become president.

Sorry, but Rumsfeld resigned Wednesday, after the elections. I seriously doubt his replacement, Robert Gates, is any better. After all, he was appointed by Bush too.\nFoley (FL) resigned from his post a couple weeks before elections. \nMakes you wonder, who's next. Cheney? Bush? \nMore to come in the next few months, if the Democrats have a backbone and push for invesigations.

Cause Cheney has been in the Arizona heat too long!!  \n\nHe tried to start an investigation on the NBA cause he thought it was a conspiracy when the Lakers beat Sacramento a few years ago just cause the Lakers had a few fouls go in there favor.\n\nAnd He recently tried to ban the Iran soccer team from the world cup.  \n\nOne of the weirdest guys in such a high office, I can't believe lots of people voted for him when he was running for President!!

Yes, as a matter of courtesy, for the rest of their life. Same with vice presidents.

Bill can't be the VP. One of the requirements of VP is they must be capable of serving as the Pres. The Constitution prohibits Bill from being the President any longer.\n\nIF all those who answered were Republicans (which I doubt) it would just be proof Republicans know more about how the government works than Democrats.\n\nSorry about that last --but since you opened yourself up. I just couldn't resist.

Bill Clinton is not eligible because the twenty-second amendment  to the US Constitution limits the President to two terms.  He is barred from the VP spot, because he could not ascend to the Presidency if that were necessary.

No.  That's part of the reasoning behind the pres only being an American citizen.  You can never fully trust that a person who has dual alliances is going to look out for your best interest if a conflict of interest arises.

I'd like to be the running mate as vice president.

Their is no law against running for vice president after serving your 2 terms as president.  Legally you could run as vice president have the president step down and do another 4 years.

They are part of the Treasury Dept. Most of the time they enforce Treasury Dept. laws. The protection of the President and others is also assigned to them.

It is a fact that the energy policy of the current administration was formulated in closed meetings with VP Cheney and executives of Enron and a few other energy companies. Executive privilege has been invoked to prevent release to congress of the details of those meetings. The new democratic congress will no doubt launch an investigation to try to learn exactly what went on and if there was any wrong-doing by the administration.  \n\nThe SEC and the accounting profession, in the form of independent auditors, are supposed to insure that the annual financial statements of public companies fairly represent the actual operating results and financial condition of those companies. In the cases of Enron, Global com, Global Crossing and a few others, those financial statements were seriously misstated and not caught by the auditors or the SEC. Wrong doing and negligence were at the bottom of those failures. I was so disgusted at the failure of the accounting profession, that I resigned from the AICPA - the professional society that oversees accounting and auditing standards.

state politics are decided by state constitutions.  The states can put whatever requirements they want on their Governor.  The Federal constitution, however, states that foreign born folks cannot be president.\n\nNo, Arnold cannot be VP.  To take that seat, he MUST be eligible for the presidency.  (There was a question a few years ago about Bill Clinton using the VPs office as a backdoor to a third term, but it was impossible)
