The duties and responsibilities of the Vice President, with respect to Vice-[Presidential records](/usc/44/2201.md?p=2), shall be the same as the duties and responsibilities of the President under this chapter, except [section 2208](/usc/44/2208.md), with respect to [Presidential records](/usc/44/2201.md?p=2). The authority of the [Archivist](/usc/44/2201.md?p=4) with respect to Vice-[Presidential records](/usc/44/2201.md?p=2) shall be the same as the authority of the [Archivist](/usc/44/2201.md?p=4) under this chapter with respect to [Presidential records](/usc/44/2201.md?p=2), except that the [Archivist](/usc/44/2201.md?p=4) may, when the [Archivist](/usc/44/2201.md?p=4) determines that it is in the public interest, enter into an agreement for the deposit of Vice-[Presidential records](/usc/44/2201.md?p=2) in a non-Federal archival depository.
