The many Vice Presidents of the United States are generally unremembered men, chosen only for whether they balanced their top man ideologically or regionally. There has never been a Vice President picked solely on whether he could govern well as a President should his President die in office -- and, though we have had some great Presidents come out this way, we have also had a plethora of shitty, shitty ones.

My challenge to you is to make there a way for Vice Presidents to be not only men capable of governing the country from the outset of the office, but also be involved in the workings of the government -- rather than being, as "Cactus Jack" Garner put it, "not worth a warm bucket of piss".

Bonus points if you can name better Vice Presidents to OTL Presidents than the ones they got. Get to it! ;)
