WATCH YOUR VICE-PRESIDENT has done the same thing when a President has died. As a matter of custom we may say that the Vige President becames President, when the Presidency becomes vaeant A third duty of the Vice President is also a matter of custom. He Is the official diner-—out of the Exe- cutive Department. It is a known custom that the President accepts no private invitations to dinner, and dines out only on state occa- sions, Thus, the Vice President must take the President's place on most of these occasions. This shows that the Vice President ranks above all other officials of the govern- ment, Duties When we speak of the duties of the Vice President as laid down in the Constitution, we can mention only the job of presiding over the Senate and his taking over the | presidental duties if the President should die. He may Constitution- ally refuse to do anything else. There is present indications that By B, RALFH SUMMER On January 20, 1941, Henry A Wallace became the Vice President of the United States. In the past this position has been subject to much joking, but there are some indications that the vice presidency is developing into some thing pret- ty important. This developinemt is coming without any authority from the Constitution, Until after 1920 the Vice Presi- dent had but two Constitutional functions. He presided over the Senate, but provision is made for a President (pro tempore) to serve in his absence. It is not necessary for him to take the job too serious. ly The second Constitutional duly of the Vice President comes only “in case of the removal of the Presi. lent from office, or of his death. resignation, or inability to dis- charge the powers and duties of said office.” There are two questions to be raised about this clause from the | the number of jobs is on the in- Constitution. The first has to do | crease and that the Vice President with the President's “inability to | hay become a very important officer discharge” his duties.
