The Vice President of the United States was the second-highest official in the Executive Branch of the United States government. The Vice President was first in the presidential line of succession, and became President of the United States if the current president died, resigned, or was in some other way unable to serve as President.

Role and responsibility Edit

The VP was a chief advisor to the president. In circumstances of assassination or a president's inability to perform his duties, the vice president assumed the powers of the presidency, either permanently or until the president was fit to resume his responsibilities. The level of a vice president's involvement in policy- and decision-making processes was up to each individual president.
