Only two are listed in the Constitution: that he assumes the Presidency upon the inability of the President, and that he is the president of the Senate, where he may only vote in the case of a tie.

∙ 6y agoBy Article 1, Section 3, Clause 4:
"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided."
... So the Vice President presides over the Senate and casts the deciding vote in the case of ties.
By Article 2, Section 1, Clause 6:
"In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected."
... So the Vice President becomes President if the President dies, resigns, or is removed from office (via the impeachment process) . The Vice President assumes the role of President temporarily while the President is disabled/incapacitated. The 25th Amendment goes provides a more detailed process for transferring power if the President is disabled or incapacitated.
Other than these 2 duties, the Constitution does not specify any duties for the Vice President.

Who was John Tylers vise president?
John Tyler had no vice-president. Tyler was never elected President. He was William Henry Harrison's running mate in 1840. When President Harrison died shortly after his inauguration, Vice-President Tyler assumed the duties of the presidency. However, the Constitution at that time was unclear whether Tyler only assumed the duties of the president, and kept the title of Vice-President, or whether he actually became President. Also, there was no provision in the Constitution for creating a Vice-President when the former Vice-President took over the duties of the President. So no Vice-President was created while Tyler was acting as President. Tyler's term ended in 1844 and he was not re-elected.
