Nixon was!
The vice-president is in a rather special position. His only official duty is to preside over the US Senate, and since he can vote in the case of a tie, he has a bit of legislativepower. He is sometimes considered to be part of the cabinet which would be in the executive branch, but he does not have any official duties in that regard, unless the President asks him to do something for him. He is not a paid employee of the executive branch, but when he serves the President, he represents the executive branch.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is considered the highest honor the President of the US can bestow upon US citizens. There is also the Congressional Gold Medal, which is granted by the United States Congress.
The vice president of the US is the president of the US senate.
Given that the highest rank possible in the US Military is Commander-in-Chief, and that the Commander-in-Chief is the President, they all held the highest rank possible. THE ABOVE answer I found here is incorrect. The Commander-in-Chief position is civilian, not military. The whole point of making the president C-in-C is to have civilian control of the military, unlike in other countries in the 18th century whose military did not answer to the government. The president is not a member of the military. I am told George Washington was the only six star general in history (before being president, of course), but I have not checked.
