14 presidents served as vice president before becoming president
As of 2009, Joseph Biden is the 47th US Vice President. Some Presidents have had more than one Vice President, , two vice presidents have served under more than one president (George Clinton and John C. Calhoun) and four (Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson, and Arthur) had no Vice President during their successions.
The presidents were Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was succeded by vice president Harry Truman
If the President dies in office, resigns his post, or is impeached and removed, the Vice President steps up to become President and complete the term.
no, this way if the president dies, the vice president is still there to replace him
The last time the total number of Presidents and Vice Presidents was the same was near the end of the 19th century, when McKinley was President and Hobart was Vice President. Then after Vice President Hobart died McKinley needed a new running mate. When he was reelected, Theodore Roosevelt was his new Vice President, and the number of V.P.'s then exceeded the number of Presidents by one. The difference of one remained until Franklin Roosevelt was President. He changed Vice Presidents twice (he had a total of three). So at that point, when Roosevelt started his 4th term, the total of vice presidents was three more than the total of presidents. The difference of three remained until Gerald Ford was appointed to replace Vice President Agnew, who resigned in 1973. The difference then became four, where it remains to this day (43 presidents and 47 vice presidents).
