There have been way more than two vice presidents that were elected president right after their vice presidential term. The first was John Adams, who was also the first vice president. The second was Thomas Jefferson, who was also the second vice president. The third was Martin Van Buren, who was Andrew Jackson's vice president, and then was elected president right after his vice presidential term. There are many more (including George Bush).

How many vice presidents have been elected to president?
George Bush, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Martin Van Buren ---- I do not know about earlier Vice Presidents. However, since the 1940s, there have been a total of five persons who had served as Vice President who later became President. Of those five, four were elected as President in their own right. Harry S. Truman who was elected Vice President for Franklin Delano Roosevelt's fourth Presidential term, became the 33rd President after Roosevelt died in office on April 12, 1945. President Truman was elected to the Presidency in his own right in 1948. This election victory was a surprise to some. A very famous picture of President Truman holding a copy of the Chicago Sun Times, the front page of which read Dewey defeats Truman, has entered the collective consciousness. Finally, in the election of 1952, President Truman was defeated by Dwight David Eisenhour. Lyndon Baines Johnson who was elected Vice President for President John Fitzgerald Kennedy's term as the 35th U.S. President, was sworn in as the 36th U.S. President on November 22, 1963, following the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. To date, President Lyndon Baines Johnson is the only President to be sworn in by a female judge. President Lyndon Baines Johnson was elected to the Presidency in his own right in the election of 1964. Richard Milhous Nixon who was elected Vice President for both of President Dwight David Eisenhour's terms as the 34th U.S. President, was elected as the 37th U.S. President in the election of 1968. He took office in January of 1969. President Richard Milhous Nixon was re-elected in 1972. However, President Richard Milhous Nixon resigned the Presidency in 1974. Gerald Fordascended to the Vice Presidency to replace Spiro Agnew who resigned as Vice President for President Richard Milhous Nixon amid a financial corruption scandal. Later, in 1974 when President Richard Milhous Nixon resigned, Vice President Gerald Ford became the 38th U.S. President. President Gerald Ford lost the election of 1976 to Jimmy Carter, and thus, was never elected in his own right as President, or even as Vice President. George Herbert Walker Bush who was elected Vice President for both of President Ronald Reagan's terms as the 40th U.S. President, was elected as the 41st U.S. President in 1988. He was not re-elected in 1992.
What amendments relate to the offices of president and vice president and how?
In 1804, the 12th Amendment changed the way the Vice President is elected. Before 1804, there was no separate ballot for vice presidents; each elector cast two votes for president, and whoever came in second in the presidential election was the vice president. Since 1804, separate votes are cast for president and for vice president. In 1933, the 20th Amendment changed the start and end dates of the presidential and vice presidential terms. From 1793 through 1933, with one minor exception, all presidential terms began on March 4 following each presidential election and ended four years later on March 3. Beginning with President Roosevelt's and Vice President Garner's second inaugurations in 1937, all presidential and vice presidential terms begin and end at noon (American Eastern Time) on January 20 following the election. In 1951, the 22nd Amendment limited the number of times a person can be elected president to two (one if the person served more than two years of a presidential term to which someone else was elected). The 23rd Amendment gave the District of Columbia the right to appoint electors to the electoral college beginning with the election of 1964. In 1967, the 25th Amendment (1) put Tyler's Precedent into writing (when the president dies or resigns the vice president becomes president), (2) provided for a replacement when the office of the vice president is vacated, (3) provided for the vice president to act as president when the President is temporarily incapacitated, and (4) made it possible for the Vice President and the Cabinet to remove a president from office due to disability. Some constitutional amendments affect the public's right to vote. Although the public does not elect the president or vice president, they do now elect all of the people who do elect them, so I'll list those amendments, too: In 1870, the 15th Amendment gave former slaves and other blacks the right to vote. In 1920, the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. In 1964, the 24th Amendment made poll taxes illegal. In 1971, the 26th Amendment lowered the minimum voting age from 21 to 18.
