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

Why this is the answer

Like the question about the President, this one depends on who holds the office on the day of your interview. The official list does not print a name. It points to the USCIS test updates page, which shows the current Vice President, and you must answer with the official serving at the time of your interview, so check the page shortly before you go. The study guide also suggests whitehouse.gov. The study guide describes three roles: the Vice President is President of the Senate, an adviser to the President, and a member of the Cabinet. The Senate role comes from Article I, which makes the Vice President the presiding officer there, with no vote unless the senators are evenly divided. In a closely split Senate, that tie-breaking vote can decide the outcome. The Vice President is chosen for the same four-year term as the President. The office has changed over time. Under the original Article II, each elector voted for two people, and whoever finished second in electoral votes became Vice President. The 12th Amendment, ratified in 1804, gave electors distinct ballots for President and Vice President. The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, filled a gap: when the vice presidency is vacant, the President nominates someone, who takes office once a majority of both houses of Congress confirms the choice. Because a Vice President may have to step in as President at any moment, the 2008 study lessons note that the qualifications for the two offices are the same. Some applicants confuse the Vice President with the Speaker of the House, who leads the House and comes next in line if both the President and Vice President can no longer serve. Others give the name of a former Vice President, or say the President's name by mistake. Take a breath and give the name of the person serving now.
