Needed Changes in the 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution-Part Eight

In lieu of the fact that the Vice-President Of The United States is no longer the de facto President Of The United States and it is instead the de facto Assistant President Of The United President, the United States Constitution needs to be amended to reflect that.

The VPOTUS should be renamed APOTUS. It should be a de jure (by law) an exclusively federal executive position. That position should not intersect between the federal executive and federal legislative branches of government. The VPOTUS should be designated specific oversight administrative responsibilities that should be defined in the US Constitution.

This change is necessary because the nation changed during and in the aftermath of the American Civil War. Before that war, the states were united as members of the nation known as the United States Of America.. After the war, the states became part of the indivisible nation also known as the United States Of America. The original role of the VPOTUS became outdated at that time. Therefore the change from VPOTUS to APOTUS and that office's responsibilities should be codified and made official.
