Al Gore was pretty good but the first vice president, John Adams who became the 2nd president of the US was a noble and compassionate man who helped form this country.  so i think he was the best.

There is no vice president.  Though I assume the equivilent is Executive Deputy President. Here's the info on the executive branch from The CIA: \n\nExecutive branch:   \nchief of state: President Thabo MBEKI (since 16 June 1999); Executive Deputy President Phumzile MLAMBO-NGCUKA (since 23 June 2005); note - the president is both the chief of state and head of government \nhead of government: President Thabo MBEKI (since 16 June 1999); Executive Deputy President Phumzile MLAMBO-NGCUKA (since 23 June 2005); note - the president is both the chief of state and head of government \ncabinet: Cabinet appointed by the president \nelections: president elected by the National Assembly for a five-year term; election last held 24 April 2004 (next to be held April 2009) \nelection results: Thabo MBEKI elected president; percent of National Assembly vote - 100% (by acclamation) \nnote: ANC-IFP is the governing coalition

Gerald Ford was elected neither to the Presidency, nor the Vice Presidency.  He was appointed Vice President upon the resignation of Spiro Agnew, then became President when Nixon resigned.  He was defeated by Jimmy Carter in 1976 when he ran for his own term.\n\nOf course, you'll still have your leftist wags here who will say George W. Bush.  I suggest you take such answers for what they're worth.

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.

The Vice President is still a part of the team elected to serve the current term.  He is therefore still in office and it would be his elected responsibility to complete the term as President after the President dies no matter how short of a term that may be.  The terms of the Executive Branch  are very clearly outlined by our Constitution and the helm of the government would be handled according to the law that has been set for it.
