Answer 1

The correct answer is D. The vice president's duties are more variable, as they are almost completely determined by the president.

The vice president's role can vary significantly depending on the needs and preferences of the president, as well as the political context of the administration. While the president has defined constitutional duties and specific responsibilities, the vice president often takes on tasks assigned by the president, which can range from diplomatic missions to advocacy on particular issues.
