Won't someone please give Dick Cheney a break. It's been almost two hundred years since a Vice President has shot someone and the reporting protocol had been lost. Heck, there wasn't even a mass media the last time a shooting happened. And, if I am not mistaken, the Constitution is silent on what a Vice President should do in the case of an accidental shooting.
So that some of you can stop the blame game (you all know who you are) I offer this modest proposal, an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), for accidental shootings by a Vice President. If you want we can even create a metric so that we can track the effectiveness of the SOP.
Here then is my VPASRP (Vice President Accidental Shooting Reporting Procedure);
If you are the Vice President of the United States Of America and you accidently shoot someone, immediately report the accident to the authorities, your boss, the American People, and Fox News. To avoid confusion this procedure would also apply to shootings that are not accidental.
Since it is likely (cross your fingers) that it could be another 200 years before another accidental shooting by a Vice President occurs, I would recommend that this procedure become an ammendment to the constitution. That way accidental shootings by Vice Presidents would be constitutional.
