American President

It is not the Constitution, however, that has assured the vice president's place in the decision-making process of the White House: it is the personal trust and respect between President and vice president that are the binding elements.
The Office of the Vice President is thus a significant new center of participation in White House decisionmaking.
His staffers were invited to the meeting of their White House counterparts until Bush's decision to increase taxes, when vice presidential chief of staff William Kristol’s opposition strained the erstwhile close relationship that he had had with White House chief of staff John Sununu.

Boehm, Christian: Democracy in Kyrgyzstan - Reforms, Rhetorics and Realities

Even a remote place like the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek is today filled up with young, mostly American, economists, working 60 hours a week for USAID's subcontractors like "Price-Waterhouse" or "Overseas Strategic Consulting" in order to push forward their own career and the transition in Kyrgyzstan.
For instance the announcement by president Akaev to hold presidential elections on dec. 24th was heavily criticised by some donors, because they (not surprisingly) saw it as an attempt by the government to get rid of Western election observers.
But I believe that as long as Akaev continues to be the president in Kyrgyzstan, the government will adhere to democratic principles.

Despite White House spin about assuaging Duma deputies' fears, the arms-control agreements produced by the Helsinki summit reveal a vast discrepancy between the way the executive branches of Russia and the U.S. view nuclear weapons.
