The electoral college
Electoral College.
The power that is vested in the President and the Vice President is called executive power. This power is expected to be exercised according to the constitution.
Article One of the Constitution gives the Vice President power to preside over the Senate.
Electors
The U.S. President and Vice President are elected by the special body called the Electoral College. Each state has electors that are appointed. In total, there are 538 electors.
The House of Representatives elects the President, and the Senate elects the Vice President.
Candidates for president and vice-president run as a team- they are elected as a team by the voters through an indirect process spelled out in the US Constitution. A body known as the electoral college officially elects the president and vice-president but the voters choose the electors based on the candidates they promise to vote for.

The electoral college that elects the president also elects the vice president. In the event that a new vice president is appointed because of a vacancy, both houses of Congress have to confirm the president's appointee.
The Vice President would then be elected by the Senate.
