I am in agreement with section 2, though instead of a deputy president of Congress, can't we simply make it clear that the Speaker and PPT are empowered to step on behalf of the VP?
As for separate election of the VP, while it sounds like an interesting mechanic (and in fact is one I supported when I was a newbie who had just joined Atlasia), my worry with it is that, as long as the VP is "only a heartbeat away from the presidency", the VP will still be elected based on partisan concerns first and actual competence will be an afterthought.
Even if the election for VP was a painfully obvious election based on competence like idk, Yankee vs Ishan or something, partisan concerns would trump competence concerns because of what would happen if the president were to resign.
Let's be real, unfortunately no zombie is going to split his ticket for President and VP on the issue of competence. It is a sad reality but a reality we have to face nontheless.
