| | Vice President of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Vice President of the United States is the second-highest executive official of the United States government. | | | There is a strong convention within the U.S. Senate that the Vice President not use his position as President of the Senate to influence the passage of legislation or act in a partisan manner, except in the case of breaking tie votes. | | | The 12th Amendment discourages the Vice President from legally residing in the same state as the President, as Electors must vote for at least one candidate not in the same state as themselves. |

| | Vice President - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The vice president can sometimes assume some of the symbolic and less important functions of president, such as some ceremonial functions and events that the actual president may be too busy to attend; the Vice President of the United States, for example often attends funerals of world leaders on behalf of the president. | | | 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 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. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | While vice presidents have used their votes chiefly on legislative issues, they have also broken ties on the election of Senate officers, as well as on the appointment of committees in 1881 when the parties were evenly represented in the Senate. |

| | Vice-President of the United States (from LYNDON B. JOHNSON) -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia |
| | A moderate Democrat and vigorous leader in the United States Senate, Johnson was elected vice president in 1960 and acceded to the presidency in 1963 upon the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. | | | In contrast to many countries with parliamentary forms of government, where the office of president, or head of state, is mainly ceremonial, in the United States the president is vested with great authority and is arguably the most powerful elected official in the world. | | | On August 7, at the urging of President Lyndon B. Johnson, the United States Congress responded by passing the Tonkin Gulf resolution, which authorized the use of American military force in Vietnam. |
