The Seal of the Vice President of the United States is not as “popular” as the Seal of the President but still equally important.

According to Executive Order 11884:

The Coat of Arms of the Vice President of the United States shall be of the following design:

SHIELD: Paleways of thirteen pieces argent and gules, a chief azure; upon the breast of an American eagle displayed holding in his dexter talon an olive branch proper and in his sinister a bundle of thirteen arrows gray, and in his beak a gray scroll inscribed “E PLURIBUS UNUM” sable.

CREST: Behind and above the eagle a radiating glory or, on which appears an arc of thirteen cloud puffs gray, and a constellation of thirteen mullets gray.

The Seal of the Vice President of the United States shall consist of the Coat of Arms encircled by the words “Vice President of the United States.”

The design of the Seal of the Vice President is almost the same as the Seal of the President, with a few differences.

There is no ring of stars
The clouds are gray
The stars are gray instead of ardent
The scroll is gray instead of white
The arrows are gray

The Vice President plays an important role. It includes being the spoke person for the administration’s policy, adviser to the President, Chairman of the Board of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He is also the nominal head of the Senate. Our Vice President is also a potential President in the future.

The seal which is based on the Great Seal of the United States is the symbol of our nation. The final design of the seal was created by Charles Thomson (Secretary of the Congress). The official explanation of the seal was that it is the union of the states and federal government, as symbolized by the shield of thirteen stripes on the eagle’s breast.

If you will notice, the common theme used in the seal all comprises of 13, which is in honor on the fact that originally there are 13 states in the Union. There are 13 stars that surround the American bald eagle’s head. 13 arrows in the eagle’s left talon, 13 stripes in the shield, 13 olives on the branch. Trivia: it is also by coincidence that there are 13 characters in the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” which is translated as Out of many, one. The motto suggests that out of many states, one nation is formed.

Symbols Used in the Seal of President:

·T The eagle is holding in his right talon an olive branch (peace) and in his left a bundle of thirteen arrows (war/military might).

·I In heraldry, the symbol in the right side means that it has more importance on the object on the right. In conclusion this means that PEACE has more power than WAR. Moreover the eagle’s head is turn towards the olive branch which reaffirms that peace is indeed more powerful than war.

· T The 50 stars in the outer circle represent the number of states.

Trivia: The original seal lacked the ring of stars, the Presidential flag, Vice president, Deputy secretary et.al have four large white stars in each corner and are placed in the same manner. On December 1944, there was a big controversy when they created the 5-star rank of General of the Army and Fleet general, this concerns the fact that military officer’s flags bear more stars than that of the President. The issue was pacified when President Truman added more stars.
