Through Joseph Biden (January 20, 2009), there have been 47 men who served as Vice President of the US, all but two of them elected to the position. The first 3 Vice Presidents were actually "runners-up" for President, until the 12th Amendment was ratified in 1804.
Two Vice Presidents, George Clinton and John C. Calhoun, served under 2 presidents, but several Presidents had more than 1 Vice President. Four Vice Presidents who succeeded to the office had no Vice President of their own (Tyler, Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, and Arthur).
Both Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockfeller were appointed under the terms of the 25th Amendment.

What amendment changed the way the Electoral College votes for president and vice president to separate ballots?
Short Answer: The Twelfth Amendment. Long Answer: In 1800, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr ran for president. It was implied in the Democratic-Republican party that Jefferson was to be president and Burr to be vice president. Each Democratic-Republican elector cast both votes for these men - one for Jefferson and one for Burr. This situation resulted in a tie between the men for presidency. After much dispute, Jefferson was given the presidency. The Twelfth Amendment, ratified in 1804, called for separate elections for each office (president, vice president, etc.).

John C. Calhoun, who served from 1825 to 1832, was the only U. S. Vice President from South Carolina. John Adams' running mate in 1796, Thomas Pinckney, was also from South Carolina, but because of the way the vice president was determined at that time and because the electors spread their vice presidential votes so thinly that year, instead of Adams' running mate becoming vice president, his opponent, Thomas Jefferson, did. The only other vice presidential candidate from South Carolina was Thomas Pinckney's brother, Charles C. Pinckney.
