Asked in US Presidents, US Constitution
Why would it be a problem to have the president and his vice president political enemies?

The President and the Vice-President are members of the same
Administration - they are expected to co-operate in getting the
President's agenda through Congress. If the Vice-President is
critical or unsupportive of the President's agenda, it makes it
much more difficult for the Administration to achieve its goals.
Also - if the President is ever sick or incapacitated for some
reason, the Vice-President would be Acting President. To have a
person take over who disagreed with the President's decisions would
cause confusion and difficulty.
Asked in George W. Bush, US Presidents, Barack Obama
What laws did Barack Obama pass?

Presidents do not pass laws. The job of passing laws is up to
congress. On the other hand, presidents have an agenda when they
are elected, and they try to persuade congress to move that agenda
forward. President Obama has had mixed success with getting
congress to do what he hoped: he was able to get congress to pass
Health Care Reform, for example, but other elements of his agenda
have stalled amidst congressional bickering.
