"Vice" and "Deputy" When express "second in command", like "vice president" and "deputy president", is there any difference and which one is used widely? Thank you.

I think of vice as meaning someone who can take over if the boss is unable to. Usually there is just one, unless they have a specific duty (like vice president of marketing in a company), in which case it's more like they are in charge of a department. To me, deputy means someone who has the authority to act for the boss, like a deputy sheriff has the powers of a sheriff to arrest people, etc. There can be a lot of deputies.
