Soon after a person is nominated as a candidate at the national convention. the convention delegates choose a vice-presidential candidate. In recent years, the presidential nominee names the person he wants for his running mate and the convention confirms his choice. The nominee may have made his choice earlier, but announcing the choice at the convention is a courtesy to the convention delegates and make the convention more newsworthy.

∙ 13y agoI think Jackson was the first when he picked Martin Van Buren. It used to be the Secretary of State who was considered the most likely replacement for an incumbent President. After Jackson, some presidential candidates picked their running mates and others left the choice up to the nominating convention.

Why is there more presidents than vice presidents?
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).
