A VP can make or break a campaign

Whether aiming to strike a balance or make a splash, choosing the right running mate can make or break a presidential campaign.

THE AMERICAN VICE PRESIDENT explores the little-known story of the second-highest office in the land, tracing its evolution from a constitutional afterthought to a position of political consequence. Focusing on the fraught period between 1963 and 1974, when a grief-stricken, then scandal-plagued America was forced to clarify the role of the vice president, the film examines the passage and first uses of the 25th Amendment and offers a fresh and surprising perspective on succession in the executive branch.
