Ever since the framing Of the COnSti
tuition the question has, from time to
time required as TO the value to the
country of the Office of Vice President
For periods aggregat ting thirty years
of our national life the Vice Presidency
has been vacant without affecting the
efficiency of the executive arm, Al
first the position was treated with espe,
cial reference to its providing a sue
cessor to the President in case of need
Vice Presidents were chosen in view OF
that contingency. They were younger
than the Presidential candidate, and
every whit as important as he. But for
at least a quarter century back this
policy has been completely changed.
Nomination to the office Of Vice Presi.
dent became a means Of placating a
disgruntled faction of the party, or of
recognizing some locality important in
national affairs. In this way it can cas-
lily happen that the President would be
succeeded by an inferior man and a
man holding opinions quite different
from his own. On the other hand with.
out a Vice President and with the law.
which places the line of succession in
the Cabinet, the heir To the Presidency
would be sure to be Of the Presidents
mind. because he would be the Presi.
dents nominee. The Cabinet is an ex.
tension of the Presidents personality,
and the passage of the executive power
TO the Secretary of State might be ex.
pected to be of the smOothest. The
Vice Presidents only real use lies in his
making presiding officer for the Sen
ATE. When member of the Senate is
elevated to the chair his consequent
loss of power for other than a casting
vote virtually deprives his State of one
of its Senators.
