What is the name of the Vice President?

• A. Kamala Harris
• B. Mike Pompeo
• C. Dick Cheney
• D. Mike Pence

Answer: (D)

The question tests knowledge of who holds the office of Vice President and what that role involves. The Vice President is the second-in-command in the executive branch, elected on the same ticket as the President, and serves as President of the Senate, with the potential to assume the presidency if the President cannot perform duties.

Currently, the person serving as Vice President is Kamala Harris, a role she has held since 2021 as part of the Biden–Harris administration. This makes her the correct name for the position today. For context, the office has been held by others in the past, such as Mike Pence (2017–2021) and Dick Cheney (2001–2009). Mike Pompeo has not served as Vice President; he was Secretary of State.
