The Vice President and the Cabinet
The Vice President's constitutional role and the President's cabinet of department heads who advise on policy and manage the executive branch.
Real World
Dick Cheney under George W. Bush is widely considered the most powerful Vice President in US history — chairing key policy meetings, shaping the Iraq War strategy, and effectively acting as a co-executive rather than a ceremonial figure.
Exam Focus
Avoid treating the Cabinet as a collective decision-making body; US Cabinet members are loyal to the President, unlike the UK Cabinet's collective responsibility.
