A few vice presidents in the Americas also hold the position of president of the senate this is the case, for example, in Argentina, the United States, and Uruguay. In many presidential systems, the vice president does not wield much day-to-day political power, but is still considered an important member of the cabinet. If the president is not present, dies, resigns, or is otherwise unable to fulfill their duties, the vice president will generally serve as president. Most governments with vice presidents have one person in this role at any time, although in some countries there are two or more vice presidents–an extreme case being Iran's 12 vice presidents. Vice presidents are either elected jointly with the president as their running mate, or more rarely, appointed independently after the president's election. In government, a vice president is a person whose primary responsibility is to act in place of the president on the event of the president's death, resignation or incapacity.
