What is the name of the Vice President of the United States now?

What does this answer mean?

Name the person serving as Vice President of the United States on the day of your interview. The answer can change, so USCIS asks for the official in office at the time of your interview and lists the current answer on its test updates page. The answer above is the one we last checked there.

The vice president is elected together with the president for a four-year term. Under the 12th Amendment, electors vote for president and vice president separately. If the president dies, resigns, or is removed, the vice president becomes president, a rule in the 25th Amendment.

The vice president also has a role in Congress. The Constitution makes the vice president the President of the Senate, with a vote only to break a tie.

If the office of vice president becomes empty, the president nominates a replacement, who takes office after both the House and the Senate confirm the choice.

This is one of the 20 questions on the 65/20 list. Check the name again shortly before your interview.
