Meet the Vice Presidents
{ work in progress. obviously. }
-
John Adams
VICE PRESIDENT TO GEORGE WASHINGTON / #1
THE ONLY TIME THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT WERE FROM DIFFERENT PARTIES
-
Thomas Jefferson
-
Aaron Burr
VICE PRESIDENT TO THOMAS JEFFERSON / #3
KILLED ALEXANDER HAMILTON
HE’S NOT THE ONLY VICE PRESIDENT TO SHOOT SOMEONE WHILE IN OFFICE {COUGH DICK CHENEY AHEM}… BUT HE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO DO IT ON PURPOSE
I THINK
-
George Clinton
VICE PRESIDENT TO THOMAS JEFFERSON / #3 AND JAMES MADISON / #4
ONE OF TWO VEEPS TO SERVE UNDER TWO DIFFERENT PRESIDENTS
YOU’RE GONNA NEED TO IMAGE SEARCH THIS GUY’S EYEBROWS; THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT
-
Elbridge Gerry
VICE PRESIDENT TO JAMES MADISON / #4
REPLACED THE PREVIOUS GUY, WHO DIED IN OFFICE
ALSO DIED IN OFFICE
(MADISON WAS THE ONLY POTUS TO HAVE TWO VPS DIE IN OFFICE; HE HIMSELF ALSO NEARLY DIED)
“GERRY” HAS A SOFT “G” (LIKE “GEEZ,” NOT LIKE “GIMME A BREAK”)
GERRYMANDERING WAS NAMED FOR HIM
-
Daniel D. Tompkins
VICE PRESIDENT TO JAMES MONROE // #5
-
John C. Calhoun
VICE PRESIDENT TO JOHN QUINCY ADAMS / #6 AND ANDREW JACKSON / #7
ONE OF TWO VICE PRESIDENTS TO SERVE UNDER TWO PRESIDENTS
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: GO AHEAD AND DO AN IMAGE SEARCH ON HIM. IT’S HORRIFYING. AND IT’S OK THAT I SAY THAT, BECAUSE HE WAS A TERRIBLE PERSON
NOW GO AHEAD AND DO AN IMAGE SEARCH FOR “YOUNG JOHN CALHOUN” (Hoping that last search will cleanse your brain so you don’t have nightmares tonight)
-
Martin Van Buren
VICE PRESIDENT TO ANDREW JACKSON / #7
ENGLISH WASN’T HIS FIRST LANGUAGE — DUTCH WAS
HE WAS ALSO THE FIRST PRESIDENT BORN A U.S. CITIZEN
HAD A SUPER-FANCY TOILET (ONE OF THE FIRST INDOOR TOILETS IN THE COUNTRY)
HIS HOME WAS “COMMODIOUS,” WHICH DISAPPOINTINGLY MEANS “BIG” AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FANCY COMMODE
-
Richard M. Johnson
VICE PRESIDENT TO MARTIN VAN BUREN / #8
HE WAS COMMON-LAW MARRIED TO JULIA, A WOMAN HE ENSLAVED. HE NEVER FREED HER, BUT THEY DID SEEM TO BE A FAMILY. HE MADE SURE THEIR DAUGHTERS RECEIVED A SUPERIOR EDUCATION. JULIA RAN HIS BUSINESS WHILE HE WAS AWAY.
SHE DIED FOUR YEARS BEFORE HE WAS VP
(I NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS GUY)
-
John Tyler
VICE PRESIDENT TO WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON / # 9
NOBODY KNEW WHAT TO DO WHEN HARRISON DIED — HE WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO DIE IN OFFICE
TYLER JUST, YA KNOW, DECIDED TO BE PRESIDENT AND THAT SET THE PRECEDENT
ALSO… USS PRINCETON
-
George M. Dallas
VICE PRESIDENT TO JAMES K. POLK // #11
-

-
John C. Breckinridge
VICE PRESIDENT TO JAMES BUCHANAN // #15
-
Hannibal Hamlin
VICE PRESIDENT TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN / #16
-
Andrew Johnson
VICE PRESIDENT TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN / #16
UNFORTUNATELY
WE MIGHT BE IN BETTER SHAPE IF LINCOLN’S ORIGINAL VP (HANNIBAL HAMLIN) WAS IN OFFICE WHEN HE WAS ASSASSINATED
JOHNSON WAS TERRIBLE. BUT, HE DID RISE UP FROM BEING A POOR, ILLITERATE INDENTURED SERVANT TO BEING THE POTUS… SO, THAT’S SOMETHING

-
Harry S Truman
