Who was Andrew Johnson's vice president?

Answer 1

Andrew Johnson had no vice president.

Andrew Johnson as Vice President succeeded President Lincoln in 1865. President Johnson did not have a Vice President for the rest of the term (1865-1869).

Until the passage of the 25th amendment to the US Constitution, presidents who took office when the president died served the rest of the unexpired term of the deceased president without a vice-president. Johnson assumed office upon the assassination of President Lincoln. He was unsuccessful in his attempt to get the nomination of his party (the Democratic Party) to stand for election in 1868 so he was never a candidate for president in the general election and never had a chance to have a vice president.

There was no provision in the Constitution for replacing a vice president, so Johnson served the rest of Abraham Lincoln's second term without one. The procedure for choosing a new vice president wasn't established until the 25th Amendment was ratified in 1967.
