No, a presidential election, which in the U.S. is a statewide election held on the same day in all U.S. states plus the District of Columbia that determines which presidential and vice-presidential candidates' followers will be appointed as electors of the President and Vice President, is part of a general election. General elections are regularly scheduled elections held in anticipation of a new term beginning for certain offices. Special elections are held in response to an unscheduled event, such as a Congressperson or Senator dieing in office or resigning mid-term. Some special elections are held in conjunction with general elections. The general election of vice presidents and lieutenant governors removes the need for the special election of presidents and governors by having elected officials in position to take over immediately in the event of a president or governor dieing, resigning or being removed from office.
After the November General Election the incumbent President continues to hold office and administer normally until the newly elected President is sworn in on Inauguration Day. If the incumbent won the General Election he must be sworn in again.
If the vacancies are due to the death, resignation or removal from office of both the President and Vice President, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, if qualified, resigns from the House, becomes President, and appoints a new vice president, subject to congressional approval. If the vacancies are because the winners of the presidential and vice-presidential elections have not yet been determined by Inauguration Day, the Speaker of the House becomes Acting President until the election winners are determined. If the House Speaker is serving as Acting President when the winner of the vice presidential election has been determined but the winner of the presidential election still has not yet been determined, the Vice President takes over as Acting President until the presidential election winner is determined.
Biden became the vice-president on January 20, 2009. He is running for re-election in 2012.
There are many local Election Days throughout every year and many Primary Election Days throughout every even-numbered year, but the final General Election for U. S. Senators and Representatives is always the day after the first Monday of November of even-numbered years. In leap years, that is the same day on which voters choose the electors of the U. S. President and Vice President.
The voting public chooses the 538 electors on the day after the first Monday of November by indicating their preferences for president and vice president on the General Election ballot, and the electors cast their votes on the Monday after the 2nd Wednesday of December (the Monday that falls after Dec. 12 and before Dec. 20).
I am not sure what your question is asking. If you are asking about Washington there wasn't a general election for President in 1789.
The President-Elect and Vice-President-Elect, or the reelected President and Vice President, are sworn in on Inauguration Day, the 20th of January following the election, at noon Eastern Standard Time (1700 UTC). Inauguration Day was changed from 4 March to 20 January in 1933 with the ratification of the 20th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. The first time Inauguration Day was 20 January was the second inaugurations of both President Franklin Roosevelt and Vice President Garner in 1937.
He was 65 on election day but turned 66 a few days later, on November 20 of 2008.
That U.S. president did not have a vice president because he himself was the vice president before he came president. He became president through the death of the President before him; therefore, giving him no vice president.
