The vice president has two official duties.
One is to cast a tie-breaking vote in the event of a Senate tie vote. The Vice President is actually President of the United States Senate, but his only duty in the Senate is the tie-break vote.
The second duty is to officially oversee the vote count of the electoral college in the US Presidential Election.

Another important duty, of course, is to assume the presidency in the event that the President is rendered unable to continue his duties.

Answer:

The Dred Scott vs. Sandford case could effect the presidential campaign of 1860 because candidates would have to know address whether or not slavery would be allowed in Northern states. Since this case stated that slaves are property and can be brought into free territories, this greatly effects the Northern states who already outlawed slavery. Based on the Supreme Court ruling, the states would have to abide by this law. Now, presidential candidates must answer the question of whether or not they will allow slavery to exist in all states in the US.
