Question 39 of 128 · American Government · System of Government

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

On the 65/20 list: one of the 20 questions for applicants 65 or older with 20 years as permanent residents.

Current answer

JD Vance

Also accepted: Vance

The official list does not print a name because it changes with elections. USCIS keeps the current answer on its test updates page.

Why this is the answer

The Vice President works with the President in the executive branch. The office has three jobs: presiding over the Senate as its President, advising the President and sitting in the Cabinet. It also matters for one more reason: if the President can no longer serve, the Vice President becomes President. Because the office changes with elections, USCIS keeps the current name on its test updates page, and the answer that counts is the person serving on the day of your interview. Memory hook: President of the Senate, and first in line.
