What does a Vice Pres do?

Answer 1

According to the US Constitution, the only delegated responsibility is as President of theSenate, and as the individual who would succeed the President (or serve as acting President where needed) during his term in office. As President of the Senate he can vote to break a tie vote, but that is the only time he can vote.

Recent Presidents sometimes ask the VP to represent the US in place of the President at such events as state funerals as well as carry out other assignments.

According to the United States Constitution, the vice president has very few constitutional duties. The Vice President's main duty is to preside over the Senate meetings. The Vice President is allowed to vote in these meetings, but only for a tie-breaker. According to the 12th Amendment, the Vice President also presides over a joint session of Congress when it meets to count the vote of the Electoral College. The Vice President is also an important position because they are next for the presidency if anything happens to the president.
