| | Vice President - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Vice Presidents are often elected jointly with the president as his or her running mate, elected separately, or appointed independently after the president's election. | | | In Germany, the de facto vice president is the President of the Bundesrat (upper house) and in France it is the speaker of the Senate. | | | In politics, a vice president is a politician whose primary function is to replace the president on the event of his or her death or resignation. |

| | Gerald Ford became the first Vice President to be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Congress pursuant to the Twenty-fifth Amendment. | | | Vice presidents represented their presidents' administrations on Capitol Hill, served on the National Security Council, chaired special commissions, acted as high level representatives of the government to foreign heads of state, and assumed countless other chores — great and trivial — at the president's direction. | | | Although the office of vice president did not exist under the Continental Congresses or the Articles of Confederation, the concept of a concurrently elected successor to the executive was not without precedent for the framers of the Constitution in 1787. |

| | The office of the Vice Presidency was clearly an afterthought at the Constitutional Convention. | | | Other than serving as the President of the Senate (a role which only allows the Vice President to cast votes when the Senate is deadlocked in a tie), the Vice President has no formal constitutional authority. | | | The Vice President's role as the Senate's tiebreaker, while not centrally important to the American constitutional system, was taken seriously by the Framers. |

| | Just the day before the inaugural, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, who doubles as chairman of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), had told an audience at the neoconservative Hudson Institute that the administration considered Iran to be a much bigger threat than North Korea. | | | On the one hand, George W. Bush's lofty rhetoric about his administration's commitment to bring democracy, liberty and freedom to every country where tyrants rule naturally grabbed the most attention; after all, he is the president. | | | "I don't think George W. Bush thinks he got re-elected to preside over the theocratic regime getting nuclear weapons," he confidently asserted, although he also admitted that there were "big practical questions" as to how to stop it. |
