as Vice President but "look at newspapers
every morning to see how the President's
health is." Based on this quotation, what was

presidency?
The Vice President has little responsibility,
except to be ready to assume the presidency.
The Vice President has responsibility for keeping
up with current events.
The Vice President must be ready at all times to
undertake any work assigned to him by the
President
The Vice President must stop any rumors in the
press that the President is in ill health.
