Presidential Disability
What do you think some disabilities could be
for our President? When has it happened
in the past?
Vice President – Second in Charge
The framers devoted scant attention to the vice
president's duties, providing only that he "shall be
President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote,
unless they be evenly divided" (Article I, section
3). In practice, the number of times vice
presidents have exercised this right has varied
greatly. John Adams holds the record at 29 votes,
followed closely by John C. Calhoun with 28.
Since the 1870s, however, no vice president has
cast as many as 10 tie-breaking votes.
