vice presidency  

Definición

  • Office of the person who succeeds the president, should the presidency become vacant. During the period of British rule, several colonies had lieutenant governors (known in some states as deputy governors or by another title) whose ongoing duties were minor but who stood by to serve as acting governor if the governor died, was removed from office, was ill, or was absent from the colony.
