Responsibilities of the U.S. Vice President:
The major responsibility of the vice president of the United States is to succeed to the presidency in the event of death, resignation, removal, or incapacitation of the president.

Primarily, the vice president serves as the president’s representative and carries out any duties the president assigns. The vice president also serves as president of the Senate and has the power to break tie votes in that legislative body. After a presidential election, the vice president certifies the official vote count of the U.S. Electoral College.

The daily role and function of the vice president depends on the specific relationship between that person and the president. Duties often include serving as spokesperson for the administration’s policy, advising the president on important decisions, hosting foreign dignitaries, and representing the president at special events.
