Malicious Slander is a particular favorite of the Evil Chancellor. or you're talking about Real Life (the historical Ja'far ibn Yahya, while a Vizier, was not particularly Evil). If you see a non-evil Grand Vizier, the author is probably playing with the trope. While Chancellors, Vice Presidents, and the like may not be examples of this trope, the title 'Grand Vizier' might as well just include 'Evil' as part of it, in the eyes of English-speaking audiences, especially if the Vizier's name is some version of 'Jaffar'. (Note: if the President is planned to be assassinated or is an easily controlled fool, this trope would easily apply). In the American political system in particular, there is a fairly legitimate reason why the vice president is an illogical position to be filled by someone evil: the vice president has by default very little actual power, unless the president is incapacitated or if he has delegated significant amounts of formal authority to the vice president. In stories set in Presidential democratic societies, an Evil Vice President may play the same role, although it is a lot less common. Sometimes called The Evil (Grand) Vizier instead, in which case he will spend a lot of time tapping his fingertips together and calling everyone 'effendi'. He can also tend to have more actual power and real influence than the Head of State, especially in cases where the Government is a Parliamentary system or a Constitutional Monarchy. In other cases, he's perfectly content to be The Man Behind the Man and keeps the ruler around primarily as the figurehead for the ignorant masses and as the fall guy if something goes wrong. Most of the time he's actively scheming to discredit or usurp the throne, and may even be an agent sent for this purpose by an outside power. And sometimes there's these, where instead of the Head of State being the person who has malicious intent, it's his advisor, assistant, second-in-command, or Head of Government (that is if the Head of State and Head of Government are separate positions).

Sometimes it's the monarchy / Head of State who's the Evil Overlord.
