Vice President of the United States 美国副总统

The Vice President of the United States (VPOTUS) is the second-highest position in the executive branch of the United States, after the president. The executive power of both the vice president and the president is granted under Article Two, Section One of the Constitution. The vice president is indirectly elected, together with the president, to a four-year term of office by the people of the United States through the Electoral College. The vice president is the first person in the presidential line of succession, and would normally ascend to presidency upon the death, resignation, or removal of the president.
