List of Vice Presidents
Roles of the Vice President
Preside over the Arabin Senate
The vice president is known in the Senate as the president of the Senate and is not a member of the Senate. The vice president has no vote in the Senate except to cast a tie breaking vote. The vice president also presides over deliberations that take place on the Senate floor, however, when the vice president is not present the vice president of the Senate presides over deliberations. Unlike the president of the Senate, the vice president of the Senate is a Senator and can vote on any matter. If the president of the Senate is not present and a tie breaking vote is needed, he or she must immediately return to the Senate floor to cast their vote. If the president of the Senate is not immediately able to return to the Senate floor, the Senate session will adjorn until the president of the Senate arrives.
Preside over impeachment trials
The president of the Senate presides over all federal impeachment trials except if the President is the one being impeached, then it's the Chief Justice of Arabi that presides over the trial.
Succession to the presidency
If the President becomes incapacitated (i.e. must become anesthetised, comatose, etc.) the Vice President becomes Acting President. If the President resigns, dies, or is impeached and removed from office, then the Vice President becomes sworn in as the new President.
