Where does the vice president live?

Number One Observatory Circle \n\nThe large telescope at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. attracted hundreds of visitors in 1910, including President Howard Taft and his wife, Helen. The stargazing Tafts drove up the hill past the superintendent's house to the Naval Observatory in their new automobile to look at Halley's Comet. The next time a president could view Halley's Comet-75 years later-the superintendent's house of the Naval Observatory would serve as the Vice President's home. \n\nThe white 19th Century house overlooking Massachusetts Avenue in Washington D.C. was built in 1893 for the superintendent of the United States Naval Observatory. The house was so lovely that the chief of naval operations booted the superintendent and made the house his home in 1923. The house was "taken over" again in 1974 when Congress turned "Number One Observatory Circle" into the official residence of the Vice President. \n\nBefore 1974, Vice Presidents and their families lived in their own home, but the cost of securing these private homes had grown substantially over the years. After years of debate, Congress agreed to refurbish the house at the Naval Observatory as a home for the Vice President. \n\nAlthough Number One Observatory Circle was available to the Vice President in 1974, three years passed before a Vice President lived in the home. Vice President Ford became President Ford before he could use the home, and his Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller, only used the home for entertaining. Vice President Mondale was the first Vice President to move into the home. It has since been home to the Bushes, the Quayles and the Gores. \n\nToday, Vice President Richard Cheney and Lynne Cheney live in the Vice President's Residence. Like many Vice Presidential families, the Cheneys have decorated the home with their own furnishings. They also have displayed American art on loan from museums, including Helen Frankenthaler's Lush Spring, Andrew Wyeth's Siri and western paintings by George Catlin. \n\nFrom world leaders to young children, the Cheneys have welcomed many guests to the Vice President's Residence. They have hosted leaders of several nations, including President Mubarak of Egypt and Vice President Hu Jintao of China. Lynne Cheney hosted a Constitution Day event on Sept. 17, 2002 and welcomed 200 second graders for a program and workshop about the Constitution. \n\nOver the years, the Naval Observatory has continued to operate. Scientists there make observations of the sun, moon, planets and selected stars; determine and distribute precise time; and publish astronomical data needed for accurate navigation.

As president, Bush makes $400,000 and gets additional money in various expense accounts. Cheney makes $208,100 and also has expense accounts. In September 1999, President Clinton signed legislation that increased the presidential salary to $400,000, effective January 2001.\n\nOn top of the salary and expense accounts, both the U.S. president and vice president are given free housing with plenty of amenities. The White House has 132 rooms, 32 bathrooms, a movie theater, bowling alley, billiards room, tennis court, jogging track and putting greens. Bush also has use of Camp David, the presidential retreat. Cheney lives in Number One Observatory Circle, which has been the official vice presidential residence since 1974. \n\n\nExecutive Branch \n\nPresident: $400,000; $50,000 expense account; $100,000 nontaxable for travel; $19,000 official entertainment account; free housing \nRetired president: $150,000 pension; plus $150,000 to maintain staff \nFormer first lady: $20,000 \nVice president: $208,100; $10,000 expense account; free housing \nPresidential Cabinet member (i.e. secretary of defense, attorney general, etc.): $157,000 \nLegislative Branch \nSpeaker of the House of Representatives: $208,100 \nSenate president pro tempore: $180,100 \nSenate and House majority and minority leaders: $180,100 \nOther senators and representatives: $162,100 \nJudicial Branch \nSupreme Court chief justice: $208,100 \nSupreme Court associate justices: $199,200 \nCircuit judges: $171,800 \nDistrict judges: $162,100

It's the official residence but I don't think the President is obligated to live there as opposed to his own home.

Executive authority (powers) are delegated in the Constitution of the United States.  Primarily these delegated powers (in terms of the executive branch are to the President of the United States.\n\nThe Vice President is also President of the Senate, but this has little power unless a vote in the Senate is tied, then the Vice President (as President of the Senate) can cast the deciding vote.\n\nIn line of accession he can replace the president if the President dies, is incapacitated, or impeached.  \n\nOther than that he has no real power.  \n\nAny advice he provides or jobs he does, are at the direction of the President.  The President can shut the Vice President off from any real contact as to what is going on, at any time.\n\nWhile in the past Vice Presidents have traditionally more or less stayed out of things and remote, there has been a growing trend for the President to provide more tasks for the Vice President, but they are always under the thumb of the President.\n\nThe relationship between President Bush and Vice President Cheney go back many years and part of that relationship is one where the Vice President advises the President far more than has typically occurred.  However, the Vice President is only one adviser among many.\n\nIn short, the premise of your questions is wrong.  The President is in charge and has all of the authority relative to the Vice President.

Section 1)  If the President leaves office through either his death or his resignation, then the Vice President becomes president (notice the first section doesn't require him to be sworn in, even though it's customary).  \n\nSection 2)  If there is no Vice President (for whatever reason), then the President nominates someone for Vice President; that person must be confimed by a majority (51%) of the House of Representatives.\n\nSection 3)  If the President signs a letter saying that he is not able to do his job for a time, the duties of the President are performed by the Vice President; he takes his office back by signing a letter declaring that he is able to resume his job.  This section is all about VOLUNTARILY giving up power for a time; it has been invoked on a number of occasions when a president has had to have surgery, for instance.\n\nSection 4)  is about INVOLUNTARILY surrendering power; If the Vice President AND a majority of the cabinet (or another body that Congress selects) determine that the president is incapable of fulfilling his duties, they deliver a letter to the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House declaring this fact, at which time the Vice President assumes the duties of the President as *acting* president.  If the President later sends a letter to these same parties stating that he is fit to carry out his duties, he will re-assume his duties unless the VP and the majority of the cabinet (or the other selected body) sends another letter to the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the Speaker, saying that the President is not capable of performing his duties (this would be the second letter stating this); if that happens, the Congress assembles, and if a two-thirds vote of BOTH houses agrees with the VP and the Cabinet/ other body, then the VP takes over the duties of the President.\n\nAll this came about after the shooting of John F. Kennedy; had he lived, but been incapacitated, there would have been no constitutional basis for then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson to have assumed the powers of the president; this amendment clarified the succession of the presidency in the event that the president was incapacitated but not dead.  It also provided for the appointment of a new vice president (Johnson served as President at least three years without a Vice President after becoming President when Kennedy was killed, thus putting the Speaker of the House 2nd in line for quite some time).

The President of the Senate is technically in charge of the running of the Senate. The Vice President holds this position, but usually the Vice President is not in the chamber. In his absence, the President pro tempore acts as the President of the Senate.\n\nThe only important function the President of the Senate serves is, if there is a tie vote, he casts the deciding vote. It has happened fairly infrequently, but often is important on controversial bills.

It's an issue that has not been dealt with yet and could be contentious if it ever does. The problem is, the 22nd amendment, which limits presidents to two terms does not specifically say that the VP cannot have been president for 2 terms, but at the same time, the twelfth amendment states, "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." Whether or not this applies to the interpretation of the 22nd amendment is not at all agreed upon and would involve a Supreme Court dispute if it ever arose.

Hmmmm, that's a very interesting question!  I bet it's never been asked before.\n\nWhere else would they live?  It's very handy to their job, their staff and cousins by the dozens have space to work and interact, and there is the security question.\n\nI can't imagine a President saying "No thanks, I've got my own place"--but that's not your question is it?  \n\nI don't know but you got me thinkin'...so thanks!

As some people have said, if a vice president were to take over at least two years in the presidency, they can run for election twice. So if a vice president were to serve for 2 years as President (due to an assassination or resignation, etc) then he can run for another two terms (8 years)\n\n2 + 8 = 10 years\n\nPossible, but improbable.

Ehh... the 20th? something about presidential succession. In case the president dies in office the vice president should take over and in case there is no vp, then the president of the senate takes over I believe. Also when terms are up when the date to move out is.

A vice president is an officer in government or business who is next in rank below a president. The name comes from the Latin vice meaning in place of. In some countries, the vice president is called the deputy president.\n\nIn American slang, the American Vice President is sometimes referred to as the V. P. or the veep. The spouse of a vice president may be known as the Second Lady. If/when the United States of America elects a female president who is married, her husband would, theoretically, be termed "the First Gentleman of the United States of America".
