Capitalisation of titles

[edit]

In other articles. I think there is a clear consensus that titles like governor, vice president, president, etc. should not be capitalised when used in prose.

For example, Bush's article reads that he served as the "43rd president of the United States". Can we stick to this consensus for this article please 219.89.38.16 (talk) 08:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Importance of birth of daughter reference

[edit]

I am unaware if this has been discussed before, but why is there a need to make a reference to the birth of Liz Cheney in reference to the extension of the draft requirements? It seems like a slightly biased jab at Cheney, and is almost certainly unrelated, either completely or mostly. I can appreciate the humor, but I feel like it should be avoided of mentioning this fact unless Cheney or his wife comes out and acknowledges this. Electabro (talk) 02:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two term Republican Vice Presidents who didn’t run for President

[edit]

It occurs to me that he is the only Republican to serve 8 years as Vice President without ever becoming President and the only Republican to serve 8 years as Vice President without running for President during his last year as Vice President. (The other Republicans who served 8 years as Vice President were Nixon, who ran in 1960 and won in 1968, and the first Bush, who ran and won in 1988. Agnew was also elected to two terms but resigned early in the first one.) This seems worth adding somewhere, probably where the article says that he didn’t run in 2008, but it needs to be edited down to a reasonable length from what I have written here. 47.139.46.124 (talk) 00:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cheney’s tenure as VP deserves its own article

[edit]

Cheney was viewed as the most powerful vice president in American history, and for the same way Gore’s tenure has an article, so should Cheney’s. Vinnylospo (talk) 00:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
