In light of Kamala Harris being announced as Joe Biden’s running mate, we wanted to take a look at the role of the Vice President. Listen and learn about what the VP does, how they are chosen (both historically and now), and what happens if the President dies and the VP takes over.
There have been 14 previous Vice Presidents who eventually became President - John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry S. Truman, Richard Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush.
