vice president
the vice president is the first person in the presidential line of succession and assumes that presidency if the president dies, resigns, or is impeached and removed from office. nine vice presidents have ascended to the presidency in this way: eight (john tyler, millard fillmore, andrew johnson, chester a. arthur, theodore roosevelt, calvin coolidge, harry s. truman and lyndon b. johnson) through the president's death and one (gerald ford) through the president's resignation. in addition, the vice president serves as the president of the senate and may choose to cast a tie-breaking vote on decisions made by the senate. vice presidents have exercised this latter power to varying extents over the years.

the 25th amendment explicitly states that if the president dies, resigns or is removed from office, the vice president becomes president, and also establishes a procedure for filling a vacancy in the office of the vice president. the amendment further provides that the president, or the vice president and cabinet, can declare the president unable to discharge his duties, in which case the vice president becomes acting president. if the declaration is done by the vice president and cabinet, the amendment permits the president to take control back, unless the vice president and cabinet challenge the president and two-thirds of both houses vote to sustain the findings of the vice president and cabinet. if the declaration is done by the president, he may take control back without risk of being overridden by the congress.
