It was US President Theodore Roosevelt who believed that the office of the vice presidency was simply not worth having. Most constitutional scholars agree but the question then remains how to handle the situation if a president cannot serve out the term. There have been several alternate proposals such as having the Speaker of the House assume the office of the presidency, and currently the Speaker is number three on the list should the vice president be unable to complete the term inherited by the president.
