Nixon, in the 1960 US Presidential Election, Richard Nixon sought to be elevated to the Presidency. Nixon's running mate was Henry Cabot Lodge. On the Democratic side was the young Senator from Massachusetts John F. Kennedy and wily Senate majority leader Lyndon Johnson. They won the election with 303 electoral votes to Richard Nixon's 219, but the popular vote was a narrow 112,827 in favor of Kennedy/Johnson.
"vice president" is a noun phrase. President is a noun and vice is an adjective.
If the president dies the vice president is responsible for stepping up as president. The vice president will do everything the president had previously done.

In 1956, Pres. Eisenhower announced that he would again run with his Vice President, Richard Nixon, while Gov. Stevenson left it up to the convention delegates to choose his running mate.
