The Constitution gives the Vice President two powers: preside as President of the Senate and to take over the job of the President when he/she resigns, dies in office, or is considered by a vote of Congress and the VP, to be too ill to carry out the duties of the office. Over the years, the VP has become more like a member of the Cabinet and he/she handles duties assigned by the President. The VP often acts as the representative of the President when the President cannot attend a special meeting or assembly or travel to a foreign nation for a diplomatic reason.
