"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to weigh in on this Motion. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel. We have had deputy presidents. We had vice-presidents before that. Andrei Gromyko of Russia was one time asked why he remained a Deputy President for so long. Somebody else said, “To be a deputy president, you have to have the capacity to sit on a block of ice with your pants down and make no grin”. A deputy president is no more than a personal assistant to the president. That is how it is provided for in all constitutions all over. I have not seen one in which certain executive authority is given to a deputy president. If you remember the US very well, when John F. Kennedy was the President, there was his brother called Bobby Kennedy who was the Attorney-General. Literally, Bobby Kennedy did not think Lyndon B. Johnson was anything. Lyndon B. Johnson kept tight, watched his cool, and later on became the President of the US."
