Welcome to Mr. Turk's 11th grade Civics blog page. I set this site up for our class so that we can communicate with each other. I may post homework assignments or ask questions for you to comment on right here, online. Parents can also log on to check what we are discussing in class and join in. Hopefully, this will enable us to dwell deeper into our studies and become closer as classmates.
As you have learned, John Adams, the first U.S. vice president, called the office of the vice president "the most insignificant" ever invented. Do you think this statement holds true today? Explain.

definitly not, they hold up office if something happens to the president.
10:25 AM
yes because they really dont do anything
10:29 AM
No, because George Bush isnt doing anything positive for this country. Cheney isnt doing anything, but he is doing more than Bush. But the Vice President presides over the Senate, and that isnt insignificant.

In a way. Because the vice-president keeps everything in line. And he takes all the things that the president does not do.
