title="Vice President of the United States">vice president</a> to serve as president of the Senate and to cast the tie-breaking vote in the case of a deadlock. To carry out these duties, the vice president has long had an office in the Capitol Building, just outside the Senate chamber. Due to lack of space in the Capitol's old Senate wing, early vice presidents often shared their room with the president. Following the 1850s extension of the building, the Senate formally set aside a room for the vice president's exclusive use. </p><p><a href="/wiki/John_C._Breckinridge" title="John C. Breckinridge">John C. Breckinridge</a> of Kentucky was the first to occupy the new Vice President's Room (S–214), after he gavelled the Senate into session in its new chamber in 1859. Over the years, S–214 has provided a convenient place for the vice president to conduct business while at the Capitol. Until the <a href="/wiki/Russell_Senate_Office_Building" title="Russell Senate Office Building">Russell Senate Office Building</a> opened in 1909, this room was the only space in the city officially assigned to the vice president, and it served as the sole working office for many vice presidents including <a href="/wiki/Hannibal_Hamlin" title="Hannibal Hamlin">Hannibal Hamlin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chester_Arthur" class="mw-redirect" title="Chester Arthur">Chester Arthur</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt" title="Theodore Roosevelt">Theodore Roosevelt</a>. </p><p>Several notable events have occurred in the Vice President's Room over the years. In 1875 <a href="/wiki/Henry_Wilson" title="Henry Wilson">Henry Wilson</a>, Ulysses S. Grant's vice president, died in the room after suffering a stroke. Six years later, following President James Garfield's assassination, Vice President Chester Arthur took the presidential oath of office here with two former presidents, Ulysses S. Grant and <a href="/wiki/Rutherford_B._Hayes" title="Rutherford B. Hayes">Rutherford B. Hayes</a>, among those attending the ceremony. </p><p>In 1919, Vice President <a href="/wiki/Thomas_R._Marshall" title="Thomas R. Marshall">Thomas R. Marshall</a> signed the constitutional amendment bill that would grant nationwide suffrage to women once ratified by the states. On April 12, 1945, Vice President <a href="/wiki/Harry_S._Truman" title="Harry S. Truman">Harry S. Truman</a> was on the House side of the Capitol when he received a telephone call informing him to come immediately to the White House. <a href="/wiki/David_McCullough" title="David McCullough">David McCullough</a> wrote in <i><a href="/wiki/Truman_(book)" title="Truman (book)">Truman</a></i> that the vice president "ran through the echoing old Crypt, past the Senate barber shop, then up a flight of stairs with brass banisters to his office—to get his hat."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This marked Truman's last action as vice president.

Few of those original pieces exist today, but the marble mantel and colorful Minton floor tiles manufactured in England are both part of the room's first decoration. Many of the room's present furnishings, such as the gilded mirror and the matching Victorian window cornices, date to the late 19th century. </p><p>Of all the 19th century vice presidents who occupied this room, none affected its style and decoration as significantly as <a href="/wiki/Garret_Augustus_Hobart" class="mw-redirect" title="Garret Augustus Hobart">Garret Augustus Hobart</a>, who won election in 1896. Senate vouchers detail his purchases of imported silk mohair carpeting, Neapolitan silk curtains, numerous Persian throw rugs, and “a silk velour slumber robe” made to order to match the velour cushions on his office sofa.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Every vice president from Hobart to <a href="/wiki/Lyndon_Johnson" class="mw-redirect" title="Lyndon Johnson">Lyndon Johnson</a> used it. In 1969, it was loaned to the White House as the <a href="/wiki/Oval_Office_desk" class="mw-redirect" title="Oval Office desk">Oval Office desk</a> for Presidents Nixon and Ford. It was returned in 1977. </p><p>The Senate purchased the floor clock in 1898 from Washington jewelers Harris and Schafer for $600. Vice President <a href="/wiki/John_Nance_Garner" title="John Nance Garner">John Nance Garner</a> used it to time his entrance into the Senate chamber. As the chimes rang fifteen seconds before twelve, he stopped what he was doing and reached his seat precisely at noon. </p><p>The small gilded mirror has been displayed in the room since the completion of the Senate extension in 1859. It was most likely transferred from the old Senate wing. Although various legends attribute the mirror's original ownership to Dolley Madison or John Adams, no documentation exists, and the mirror's origin remains a mystery. </p><p>The ornately carved rosewood cabinet dates from the late 19th century. Some call it the “John Nance Garner Liquor Cabinet”, because he invited visitors to “strike a blow for liberty” with its contents.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Before being elected vice president, Wilson had served as a senator from Massachusetts from 1855 to 1873. He played an important role during the Civil War, as chairman of the Senate Military Affairs Committee, and throughout his career championed legislation to aid the working class. The Wilson bust served as the genesis for the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Senate_Vice_Presidential_Bust_Collection" title="United States Senate Vice Presidential Bust Collection">Senate's Vice
