"The vice presidency is an office of waiting. The vice president waits in case the president dies, or resigns or for some other reason can't function as president. If, however, no catastrophe befalls the president, then the vice president gets to keep on listening to senators make speeches and squabble, and wait for the president to give him some special assignment." (AMERICAN HISTORY) This article examines the office of vice president and includes quotes and anecdotes from former vice presidents.
