	Acting President of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acting President of the United States is a temporary office in the government of the United States, established under the auspices of the Constitution of the United States, particularly its 25th Amendment (ratified in 1967).
		Tyler made it clear that he was the President rather than the Vice President acting as such, thus establishing precedent in accordance with the Article I interpretation, and that precedent prevailed until ratification of the 25th amendment in 1967.
		Despite a widespread belief that Vice President Chester A. Arthur was a puppet of the Stalwart factions of the Republican Party, and particularly New York Senator Roscoe Conkling, Garfield's cabinet at least informally discussed scenarios under which Arthur could act as President.

		The Vice President of the United States of America becomes the President upon the death, resignation, or removal by impeachment of the former President.
		Should the Vice President be unable to assume the Presidency, next in line is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, followed by the President pro tempore of the United States Senate.
		There is a strong convention within the United States Senate, that the Vice President not use his position as President of the Senate to influence the passage of legislation or act in a partisan manner, except in the case of breaking tie votes.

	U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > People > Officers & Staff > Vice President of the United States ...
		Although the office of vice president did not exist under the Continental Congresses or the Articles of Confederation, the concept of a concurrently elected successor to the executive was not without precedent for the framers of the Constitution in 1787.
		While vice presidents have used their votes chiefly on legislative issues, they have also broken ties on the election of Senate officers, as well as on the appointment of committees in 1881 when the parties were evenly represented in the Senate.
		Of the fourteen vice presidents who fulfilled their ambition by achieving the presidency, eight succeeded to the office on the death of a president, and four of these were later elected president.

		Second, it is unclear which Vice President should act as President in the event this clause were to attach: the outgoing Vice President or the Vice President-elect.
		This thesis can not be proven to date, as the only former Acting President is George H. Bush who is already a former President and who succeeded to the presidency from the vice-presidency.
		Assuming that Vice-President Dick Cheney is not elected to the presidency in 2008, he will be the first former Acting President for which this question is relevant.

		President MORON then urged Congress to pass legislation to fund his newly formed faith-based initiative office, the White House Office of Religious Expansionism (WHORE) and to disregard the clear violation of Constitutional separation between Church and State.
		President MORON and his rerun Secretary of Defense, Donald "Duck" Rumsfeld have paid lip service to the fact that the Cold War is over, but they have done everything in their power to get it going again.
		President MORON disagreed with criticism that the DICK's request demonstrates a staggering insensitivity to the economic hardships facing millions of working families struggling to meet higher energy costs, blamed the high elctricity bill on Al Gore and added "The fedral govment is helpin' pay Amerker's high costs of energy.

		According to the U.S. Constitution, all that's required is for the election to be deadlocked, the House and Senate to fail to elect a President and Vice-President, and the Speaker of the House decline to serve as President.
		All that is necessary is for the candidates for President and Vice President to have a majority of electoral votes from the number of electoral votes actually cast.
		By the 12th Amendment, the election for President would be thrown into the House of Representatives and the election for Vice President into the Senate.

	CONSTITUTIONAL VICES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The very idea of a Vice Presidency was dreamed up in the closing days of the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, and its chief value was as one cog in an intricate electoral college contraption regulating presidential elections.
		Meanwhile, to discourage states from gaming the system by wasting their second (out-of-state) vote-thereby cycling back to a fractured world of favorite sons-the Framers created an office called the Vice Presidency and provided that this office would go to the runner-up in the Presidential race.
		Compounding the problem, if the Vice President ever were to be disabled (or if the Vice Presidency were at any point vacant) the Twenty-Fifth Amendment's elaborate machinery for determining Presidential disability will seize up; much of the key decision-making under this Amendment pivots on determinations that must be personally made by the Vice President.

	FindLaw's Writ - Amar: Constitutional Vices
		After the Adams-Jefferson-Burr election of 1800-01, the electoral college was revised by the Twelfth Amendment, which directed states to cast separate votes for the President and the Vice President.
		Indeed, critics predicted that the Amendment would diminish the quality of future Vice Presidents, who would no longer be major presidential candidates in their own right, but merely second-fiddles to party leaders.
		Unsurprisingly, Tyler resolved the constitutional ambiguity in his own favor, claiming that he was indeed the President, and not simply the Vice President acting as President.

	The Vice-Presidential Debate: Dick Cheney's House of Lies -- A BuzzFlash Editorial
		But let's face it, tonight's debate pitted the Democratic vice-presidential candidate against the Republican Vice-President, who is really the acting President of the United States.
		What you have is an Executive Branch with Cheney as the de facto President and Karl Rove as his chief aide for Domestic Affairs (Rove also holds the key office of Minister of Propaganda).
		Which brings us back to the debate in which the main revelation was that the so-called Vice President of the United States proved, through his fairly coherent and brazen lies, that the titular President, Bush, is a complete nincompoop.
