| abstract
| - The Vice President of the United States is a top political position, just under President of the United States.
- The Vice President of the United States is an office in the executive branch of the government of the United States of America. The office is the second-highest position in the executive branch, after the President of the United States. The Vice President is first in the presidential line of succession and also President of the Senate. The previous Vice President, Pratt, was killed or incapacitated when his plane went down during the Global Blackout. ("No More Good Days") ("Gimme Some Truth") Consequently, per the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution, President Dave Segovia had to appoint a new Vice President. Segovia chose Senator Clemente, and she was sworn in. ("Gimme Some Truth")
- The vice president is also president of the United States Senate and in that capacity only votes when it is necessary to break a tie. Additionally, pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment, the vice president presides over the joint session of Congress when it convenes to count the vote of the Electoral College. Thanks to a number of changes in the nomination and election processes throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, there have been more vice presidents (48) than presidents (45) in OTL. While John Adams served two consecutive terms under George Washington (1789-1797), this pattern would not be re-established until the 20th century. Conversely, George Clinton and John C. Calhoun each served under two separate presidents, although neither completed their second term (Clinton died, Calhoun became the first VP to resign). Seven vice presidents have predeceased their respective presidents. Nine ascended to the presidency. Only two, Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller, have been appointed under the Twenty-fifth Amendment. This article lists the known vice presidents found in the works of Harry Turtledove after the Point of Divergence. Many vice presidents who served before the POD of a given alternate history are mentioned in passing. Also stories set in OTL may reference past vice presidents, or even the sitting vice president.
- 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.
- The Vice President is the office of the government that is responsible for assisting the President of the United States who also acts as president if the president is incapacitated. If the president dies or looses office before he is due for reelection the Vice President takes over. Joe Biden is the current VP under Barack Obama. The very first Vice President was John Adams who later became president. Dick Cheney is the former vice president. He helped Dubya to stay in office because nobody wanted Cheney as president. It could be argued that one role of the Vice president is to attract attention away from the President. Dick Cheney was extremely good at that. Joe Biden on the other hand...who is he? The Vice President is also President of the Senate, with his legislative deputy in said upper house being the President pro tempore. While the Vice President presides over the Senate, they don't cast a vote unless to break a tie. The Vice President also swears in new senators.
- The Vice President of the United States of America is the second-in-command to the President. The President is the commander in chief.
