Originally the Vice President was the candidate that had the second highest vote count from the electors.
"In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President." Article2 Section1
But we changed that with the 23rd Amendment, and now the candidates for president choose a "running mate"
US Presidents have always been elected for a four year period
I do not think so. Presidents have always been paid by the US treasury. The pension plan for ex-presidents started in 1958 , years before Nixon was president.
There have been no female presidents as of yet, but there have been women who have run for president.
There have not been that number of presidents.
Henry Ford was never president of the United States. He was an automobile maker, responsible for the Ford line of vehicles. Due to this reason, he could not have been considered one of the "top presidents".
A great deal of the presidents the United States has had were Republicans. There have also been quite a few Democrats.
No, that is not true. Ever since George Washington, there has always been a president, even in times of war or national tragedy. Several presidents were assassinated or died in office, but they were replaced by the vice president, so the country always had a leader.
There have been 44 US presidents.
The president has always been paid. Washington did not want to accept his salary, but became convinced that later presidents might need the money, so he accepted his salary.
No president of the US was born in Quincy, Illinois. There may have been some corporation presidents or college presidents or other president born there.
18 out of the 44 presidents have been republican.
There have been many Vice-Presidents who opted not to run for President. The most recent was Dick Cheney.
