Our Roots Were in Duopoly

Comment on the American Vice President not having military power (did not order shoot-down 9/11/2001 (call 911 or in Great Britain 999): Is that from the early days of the Republic when The POTUS and the VPOTUS (taxus yews shrubs planted around Federal buildings) could be from two different parties? Maybe so one could not order a military operation against the other. Didn't work too well when half the Cabinet (Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis who became POTCS) conspired to transport weapons of mass defense into the South. Does anyone know if they left that out when the duopoly foundered in new law? So they should today from the same party be able to order military operations? The VPOTUS didn't have to answer with the notes requested by the executive GAO (Ed. - I meant the OMB - Office of Budget and Management who was suing VPOTUS for the secret meeting of energy companies. GSA had moved to Jamaica, Queens from the World Trade Center, bringing the gov't to the people instead of...another site I worked on. It was also stopped by the minority construction organization until some previous terms were ironed out) back in the early first term so maybe its a good thing.
