How many presidents had vice presidents?

Some presidents felt that the vice president would take over their jobs. They wanted to keep their job no matter what.

4: John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur

Answer 2

Four. Five U.S. Presidents did not have Vice Presidents at some time in their term. The nine Presidents were: John Tyler, Andrew Jackson (years 1832-1833), Milard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt (first term), Calvin Coolidge (first term), Harry Truman (first term) and Lyndon Johnson (first term) did not have a Vice President. The 25th Amendment, ratifed in 1967, provisions for a the replacement of the Vice President in the event that the Vice President died in office, resigned, or succeeded to the presidency. The Constitution originally had no provision for selecting such a replacement, so the office of Vice President sometimes remained vacant until the beginning of the next presidential and vice presidential terms.

Death of VP George Clinton to inauguration of Elbridge Gerry. 1814-17, d of Elbridge Gerry to in of Daniel D Tompkins. 1833 Feb-Mar, resignation of John C Calhoun to in of Martin Van Buren. 1841-45, sucession to Presidency of John Tyler to in of George M Dallas. 1850-Mar1853, stp of Millard Fillmore to in of William R King 1853 (May)-1857, d of William R King to in of John C Breckinridge 1861-65, stp of Andrew Johnson to in of Schuyler Colfax. 1874-77, d of Henry Wilson to in of William A Wheeler. 1881-85 (Mar), stp of Chester A Arthur to in of Thomas A Hendricks. 1885(Nov)-1889, d of Thomas A Hendricks to in of Levi P Morton. 1898-1901(Mar), d of Garrett A Hobart to in of Theodore Roosevelt. 1901(Sep)-1905, stp of T Roosevelt to in of Charles W Fairbanks. 1912-13, d of James S Sherman to in of Thomas R Marshall. 1923-25, stp of Calvin Coolidge to in of Charles G Dawes. 1945-49, stp of Harry S Truman to in of Alben W Barkley. 1963-65, stp of lyndon B Johnson to in of Hubert H Humphrey. 1973(Oct-Dec), res of Spiro T Agnew to in of Gerald R Ford. 1974(Aug-Dec), stp of Gerald R Ford to in of Nelson A Rockefeller. There has also been one occasion when a Vice-President served without a President. John Adams was sworn in as the first VP on April 21, 1789, but George Washington did not arrive for his own swearing in until April 30. Adams might have claimed to be Acting President during this interval, but made no attempt to do so.

Answer 4

Nine presidents, John Tyler, Andrew Jackson, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson. Those are all the presidents that didn't have vice presidents.

Answer 5

None of the vice-presidents who became president had a vice-president except Gerald Ford and those who later were elected to a term of their own. They are John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur.

Answer 6

Until 1967, the office of vice-president remained empty until the next election if it was vacated. Consequently, Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson and Arthur never had a vice-president. Teddy Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman and Lyndon Johnson lacked a vice-president during their first terms. Pierce's vice-president died almost immediately after taking office and was so sick that he never made it to Washington.

Answer 8

The four U. S. Presidents who never had a Vice President were the four Vice Presidents who took over the Presidency when the President died before the 1967 ratification of the 25th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which, among other things, provided for the filling of vacancies in the office of the vice president, and who never won a presidential election:

1. John Tyler (1841-1845)
2. Millard Fillmore (1850-1853)
3. Andrew Johnson (1865-1869)
4. Chester A. Arthur (1881-1885)

Answer 9

All but four had vice-presidents for at least some of their time in office.

The four who never had a vice president were John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur . Each became president because his predecessor died in office. At the time, there was no constitutional provision for selecting a new vice president.

The others who succeeded presidents who died in office, namely Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson did not have vice presidents at first but got one when they were elected to four-year terms of their own.

James Madison, Franklin Pierce, Ulysses S. Grant, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley and William Howard Taft lost a vice-president to death and so had no vice president for the rest of that term (that happened twice under Pres. Madison).

Andrew's Jackson's first vice-president resigned to run for the Senate late in his term.
