Dear America: Do you *really* need a vice president? I mean, not one of those on offer now, but the position in general?

Solarbird @solarbirdy
@kady @cow That's pretty funny coming from a monarchy. XD

Solarbird @solarbirdy
@kady @cow I mean, I'll be the first to admit there's not _nearly_ as much comedy coming from a US veep as a good royal family, but...

kady o'malley @kady
@solarbirdy But it's not even like the positions are equivalent!

Solarbird @solarbirdy
@kady @cow Sure? I thought we were talking vestigial but constitutionally-mandated parts of governments with no real purpose. #likeelections

kady o'malley @kady
@solarbirdy Yes, although Americans have to think about VP options every four years. The monarchy is just.. there.

Solarbird @solarbirdy
@kady @cow Oh, no one actually cares. Everybody just puts on like they do, so the candidates don't feel left out. #untilelectedanyway

kady o'malley @kady
@solarbirdy Aw. They're a good people, Americans.
