45th not 48th VP. Typo. 2601:587:0:DC80:DF9:1F0E:CE28:D70 (talk) 11:35, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, Pence is the 48th. Some presidents had a different VP for their second terms. See List of vice presidents of the United States. Indyguy (talk) 15:14, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Mike Pence's presidential campaign didn't gain much traction, was suspended well before any of the caucuses & primaries, and is mainly notable for involving Pence. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 22:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pence didn't certify the 2020 election. He PRESIDED over certification.

[edit]

Vice Presidents do not have the power to certify or refuse to certify electoral votes. Pence followed the law on 1/6, and his following the law made Trump mad, but Pence never had the option to do anything else (except not show up). Congress could vote to reject a state's electoral votes but the VP's role is just to stand there as the presiding officer. This is an important distinction. Leaving the description as it currently reads in the top section gives the impression that a future Vice President has the ability to make a different choice. They do not. Someone with appropriate edit access, please fix the article. Alvingreene2024 (talk) 16:16, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, he oversaw the certification and I updated the lead accordingly. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Important distinction, thanks Gowser (talk) 14:06, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Small grammar mistake; protected article.

[edit]

In the Section: Governor of Indiana (2013-2017), in the second sentence of the second paragraph of Fiscal and economic policy, there appears to be missing an “of” between the words “repeal” and “an.” That is all. I do not believe this is deserving of a whole topic, but I am not versed in Wikipedia’s bureaucracy so I will leave this in your hands. Thank you for considering this change and thank you for always providing glorious truth for free! 2600:1001:B008:9727:ACE3:5660:21B1:EEA4 (talk) 17:50, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed it. Thanks for pointing this out. Indyguy (talk) 20:16, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bias in 3rd Paragraph of Education Policy

[edit]

In the paragraph below (emphasis added), the language and formatting very clearly express condemnation of Pence's creationist policy. Don't get it twisted, I personally vehemently disagree with creationism and would absolutely use this kind of tone if I were talking about Pence to a peer, but our feelings should not get in the way of a neutral tone. I take issue with the charged language. Saying he's "eroding" anything is very clearly a sentiment of feeling, especially when saying he's eroding the thing he would say he's trying to fix. The descriptor "established" is also pretty charged, being a clearly positive word. Finally the use of quotation marks doesn't really make sense. It really just seems like the quotation marks are meant to mock the ideas, or at least distance the writer from them, which is distinctly not neutral.

In a televised interview appearance with Chris Matthews, Pence advocated eroding the teaching of science in public schools by putting religious creationism on a par with established science, accepting "creationist beliefs" as factual, and thus "teaching the controversy" over evolution and natural selection, and regarding the age of the Earth, and letting children decide for themselves what to believe.
