To be eligible for the office of President, a person must have attained the age of thirty-five, be a natural-born citizen or have lived in the United States for fourteen years at the time the Constitution was written; there is no age specification for the vice-presidency, but since the VP is second-in-command, and is to serve in the president's stead in case of sickness, injury or death, it's fair to assume the requirements are the same.

Who was John Tylers vise president?

John Tyler had no vice-president. Tyler was never elected President. He was William Henry Harrison's running mate in 1840. When President Harrison died shortly after his inauguration, Vice-President Tyler assumed the duties of the presidency. However, the Constitution at that time was unclear whether Tyler only assumed the duties of the president, and kept the title of Vice-President, or whether he actually became President. Also, there was no provision in the Constitution for creating a Vice-President when the former Vice-President took over the duties of the President. So no Vice-President was created while Tyler was acting as President. Tyler's term ended in 1844 and he was not re-elected.
