Vice President of the Confederate States of America

The Vice President of the Confederate States of America Alexander Stephens of Georgia, who served under President Jefferson Davis of Mississippi from February 11, 1861 to May 11, 1865. Both were elected without opposition. They were considered provisional office-holders until November 6, 1861. 

According to the Confederate States Constitution, the Vice President's office was almoshe Confederate Senate and breaking tied votes, as the U.S. Vice President presides and breaks ties in the U.S. Senate. He was also the first person in the line of succession. If the President died, resigned or was removed from office, the Vice President would become the new president for the remainder of his term. This never happened.

The major difference between the U.S. and the Confederate Vice Presidencies was that the term in office was six years long. The President was explicitly forbidden to run for a second term by the constitution, but the Vice President was not. It was unclear whether or not a Vice President, who became President in the middle of a term, could run for his own term afterward.
