On November 13th, 2017, the Vice Chair of the Senate was renamed to the '''Vice Grand Marshal''', as motioned by the Internal Reforms Committee, an ad-hoc standing committee of the Senate<ref>[https://poly.rpi.edu/news/2017/11/2017-11-15-motion-responding-to-judicial-inquiries-tabled Darby Burns, the ''Polytechnic'': "Motion responding to judicial inquiries tabled"]</ref>. The change in title was made to clear up the Vice Chair's role relative to the Grand Marshal. There was a short debate on the exact name of the title, with some favoring "deputy" or "lieutenant" Grand Marshal. No changes were made to the now-Vice GM's role.

The '''Vice Grand Marshal for Internal Affairs''' (VGMIA or rarely IVGM) is one of the two modern roles that holds the title of Vice Grand Marshal. The VGMIA chairs the Senate's [[Rules and Administration Committee]] ex-officio, and oversees engagement among Senators. They chair the Senate in the absence of the Grand Marshal, and, in case of vacancy of the Grand Marshal, serve as Acting GM ~~until~~ a new ~~holder~~ is ~~elected~~.

The '''Vice Grand Marshal for Internal Affairs''' (VGMIA or rarely IVGM) is one of the two modern roles that holds the title of Vice Grand Marshal. The VGMIA chairs the Senate's [[Rules and Administration Committee]] ''ex-officio'', and oversees engagement among Senators, along with relations with other branches of the Union. They chair the Senate in the absence of the Grand Marshal, and, in case of vacancy of the Grand Marshal, serve as Acting GM, in which case their sole responsibility is to ensure that a new Grand Marshal is selected by the Senate.

The VGMIA takes most of the internal-facing roles of the one Vice Grand Marshal, but also the roles of the [[Student Life Committee]]'s Vice-Chair of Policy (2024-2026).
