What you don't seem to understand is that the Constitution says that the Vice President is the President of the Senate. Since the President is the Decider, the VP should therefore be allowed to Decide any and all questions that come before the Senate - not just ties. In addition, the VP should have veto power over all bills passed by the Senate. The VP can also wire-tap Senators' phones, and have any Senators suspected of un-American activities (such as dissenting votes, etc) declared enemy combatants and detained without a trial in such facilities as the VP sees fit. Finally, the VP is Commander-in-chief of the Senate's armed forces and can deploy them as he or she sees fit. I think it's fair to say that these and other powers of the president are what the Constitution was referring to in Article I and that those are the expanded powers of the VP to which Sarah Palin aspires.
We just have to assume that both the President and the Vice President are members of the same secret society, and that therefore their agendas are in perfect harmony. From the Freemason Founding Fathers, to the current Skull and Bones administration, this fine tradition ensures that no matter who is in office, shady old men smoking cigars in a dark room are always in charge.

Probably a third of the things you listed should have some sort of weak verbal approval of the President before the VP goes through with them.
You're suggesting we throw the balancing power of the Executive branch out!
