The U.S. Vice President

What does the vice president do?

The vice president of the United States presides over the Senate.

The requirements to be a vice president are the same as that of the president. To be elected vice president, someone must be at least 35 years old, a United States resident for 14 years, and a "natural born citizen." Once the vice president is elected, he or she serves a four-year term.
