### Election

The Vice President is indirectly elected by serving as a Candidate's running mate on their Presidential ticket.

### Vacancy

Whenever the Vice President resigns, is removed, or deceases the President will appoint an Acting Vice President. The President will also nominate a Vice President who must be approved by the National Assembly by a simple majority.

### Removal

The President cannot fire the VP, only by a 2/3rds vote in the National Assembly can the Vice President be removed or alternatively by Impeachment.

### Presidential Succession

The Vice President is also first in line for succession. If the President is unable to perform his functions temporarily, the Vice President becomes Acting President until the President is available to perform their functions. If the President is unable to perform their functions for the rest of the term, has been removed from office, has resigned; the Vice President is designated as President, and must designate a new Vice President who must pass a simple majority vote in the National Assembly.

### Role in the National Assembly

All bills are submitted to the Vice President who will then add the bill to the debate docket. Before a bill is posted for voting it is debated on as specified by the Legislative Procedures Act. If the Vice President is unable to preside over a debate he may appoint a Committee Chair to moderate one for him. The Affirmative of the debate does not have to be the Bill's author so long as he is a Member of the National Assembly, same for the Opposition of the debate. If the affirmative, opposition or both are missing from a debate the Vice President will serve a Token debate for the side(s).

## Pre-Debate History

### Second Republic

During the 12th Parliament of Adoria a proposal to establish a Vice Presidency to serve as the President's Successor and as a Running mate in elections to decrease vote splitting was submitted by President Ruben. The Proposal would pass including a provision to have Median serve as the First Vice President. In the 5th Presidential Election, Sealand and Sepron would be elected making KingSepron the First Elected Vice President. However due to health concerns he would resign just 3 days after taking office. President Sealand would not nominate a replacement for Sealand to the 14th Parliament so when Sealand's impeachment and removal occurred the Supreme Court elected Reeves to serve as Acting President. The Vice Presidency would continue to remain vacant until the election of Ninetails and iShouldStop. Following the 7th Presidential Election, Blueblaze would be elected Vice President as Reeves' running mate. Unbeknownst to Blueblaze he would be the last Vice President for nearly half a year. Through the tumultuous events of Operation Albion, Blueblaze would be nearly practically absent. On March 25th, 2020, with the formal Declaration of the Adorian Empire and adoption of the Imperial Constitution, the Vice Presidency would be abolished.

### Fourth Republic

With the adoption of the Fourth Republic Constitution, the Presidency would be restored however the Vice Presidency would be absent. It would not be until the 31st National Assembly during the Presidency of Mikoyan that the Vice Presideny was restored. This time the Vice Presidency was much more powerful as he would serve as President of the Assembly, a role which at the time was being fulfilled by the NA Speaker. With the restoration of the Vice Presidency the Speakership would be abolished and the current NA Speaker at the time MarcZucc became Vice President. Eventually VP Marc would present a meme bill to the 32nd National Assembly that would make him a dictator and grant him complete political control over the government, however he allegedly deleted downvotes. This would be the boiling point for President Mikoyan who would then fire MarcZucc and replace him with KingSepron.

Sick and tired of being President, Mikoyan would unexpectedly resign a day early on September 25th, 2020, his last act firing Sepron and replacing him with Duje. Acting President Duje would then appoint Matthew V as Vice President, and for 17 hours and 42 minutes Matthew would serve as Vice President. The next day Andefar and Mikoyan would be inaugurated making Mikoyan the First Vice President to hold an electoral mandate since Blublaze half a year ago. Vice President Mikoyan would however resign just 7 days in due to no longer wanting to fulfill the office. President Andefar would quickly appoint Sir Oswald Mosley as the next Vice President. Mosley would serve out the remainder of the Vice Presidential term uneventfully. Eventually Tomi and Ciborg would assume the highest offices in the land. Ciborg would however be the last Vice President of the Fourth Republic as on November 11th, 2020, disaster struck with the Siericane which would destroy Adoria and bring an end to the Fourth Republic.

### Adorian State

Eventually the Adorian State would restore the Presidency along with the Vice Presidency. This time however the Vice Presidency was back to its weaker 2nd republic powers were it was simply a running mate and 1st in line for President. Noot Noot! would be the only Vice President of the Adorian State as the nation would soon be reorganized into the Fifth Republic.

### Fifth Republic

After only 8 days as VP, Noot Noot would become President of the Assembly, a new power granted to him by the Constiution of the Fifth Republic which also abolished the Speakership. Eventually however President Krisys would become muted for 3 days for spamming Adoria invites in another server. This means that between February 6th to 9th, 2021, Noot Noot! served as Acting President of Adoria. During this time he would continue to also serve as Vice President. The day after Krisys returned to the Presidency, Noot Noot! would resign as VP due to the constant fear of being impeached. President Krisys would then appoint KingSepron as the new Vice President. The 43rd National Assembly would confirm Krisys' nomination of Sepron the next day. Eventually President Krisys himself would also resign to assume the role of SoL leader, mistakenly believing SoL leader to be a public office which couldn't be held along with being President, however it could be as it wasn't a government position.

## Debate Era History

New President KingSepron would nominate SoleSol for Vice President and by a close vote he would be confirmed VP and assumed office on February 17th, 2021. On February 19th, 2021, the Legislative Procedures Act would officially come into use with this each bill would now require a debate. As the first Debate Vice President, SoleSol would be remembered as one of the most competent VPs proving highly successful in his new expanded role. Following the 17th Presidential Election, David Cameron would become VP. The LPA would see many amendments throughout its time. On February 26th, 2021 procedures would be amended to allow debates on each day of the week in anytime time of the day, previously only being held on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. On March 8th, 2021, the Guest Speakers Act would be passed allowing guest speakers to be called by the author regardless of whether or not they are an MNA or not. Thirdly, the 2nd Debater Amendment would be passed on March 16th, 2021, re-establishing the Speakership to help relieve burden from the VP, while not being able to post bills himself.

Through the events of the 18th Presidential Election, VP-Elect MarceL would be inaugurated as Acting President on March 24th, 2021, as President-Elect King Adoria was currently muted during this time, Reeves would be appointed Acting Vice President. 3 days later, KA would be unmuted taking his place as President and Marcel would be preceded down to VP. Following the term, the 19th Presidential Election would make David Cameron the First to get elected twice to Vice President. He would however choose to remain in his recently new position of Chief Justice becoming the first VP-Elect to reject the office. President MapleSpace would so be forced to nominate a VP once inaugurated. Nearly unanimously the NA would affirm President Maple's nomination of Frederick Llama on April 21st, 2021. The Republic would soon be reorganized into the Adorian Federation in unrelated events.

### Adorian Federation

Vice President Llama would soon grow unpopular due to illegally performing executive orders (VP is not an executive officer), especially without the consultation of the Governing coalition. He would soon be impeached by the 49th Assembly on May 11th, 2021. And convicted by the Supreme Court 3 days later, banned from public service for 4 weeks. Unrelated President MapleSpace would resign on May 15th, 2021 to assume the Maritania Governorship. As there was no VP, Speaker Based Autocrat would become President, however there was no Quo Warranto for this. Regardless, he would appoint Riccardo Ferola to be his VP, however the NA was closed for elections, and Ferola would never be affirmed. Many would so question the legitimacy of Ferola's Vice Presidency.

Following the 20th Presidential Election, Bert would be elected Vice President. He would soon become Adoria's most unpopular, strictest VP yet. Additionally he would get himself muted four times during his time as VP due to uninhibited drunken sprees. Health Minister and Psychologist Tomi had also had Bert quarantined in a sanatorium for 5 days for deteriorating mental health, potential mental breakdown, schizophrenia and Marcel's Syndrome. Bert would however be released by the Supreme Court on June 3rd, 2021. However his release would not be a happy end as he would find that on the previous day the 51st Assembly had VONC'd him with over 80% voting in favor. In addition to Bert's release the SC had also ordered Tomi to be imprisoned for 4 years for violating Bert's freedom of movement. However President Montiel with PM Niederman's Co-signature would pardon Tomi of any and all wrongdoing.

President Montiel would nominate HeyIt'sJoe™ for VP, however the NA would reject this with over 80% voting against. This would be the only time the NA ever rejected a VP nomination. Next, Montiel would nominate King Adoria who would be affirmed with over 80% voting in favor. On June 4th, 2021, he would be sworn in as the 17th Vice President.
