en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States
"Prior to ratification of the Twenty-fifth Amendment in 1967, no provision existed for filling a vacancy in the office of Vice President. "
"Vacancy" means an open position. "Office" means a "position", in a fancy way. So the original example kind of translates to:
"Prior to ratification of the Twenty-fifth Amendment in 1967, no provision existed for filling an open position in the position of Vice President. "
So, it is a position within another position? Am I wrong?
