    Answer: 42

    There are 7 choices for the president, then after the president is selected, there are 6 choices left for VP. This gives 7*6 = 42 different permutations.

    Order matters because of the different office titles. If we just wanted two people regardless of ordering, then we would divide by 2 to get the combination value. However, we want the permutation value in this case.
