Who was the first Vice President of United States and why?

The first US Vice President was John Adams, who served as vice president for the two terms of President George Washington, from 1789 to 1797, and was subsequently elected as the second US President for one term from 1797 to 1801. The reason that he became Vice President was not that he had any great interest in the position. Prior to the 12th Amendment in 1804, electoral votes were cast for President, and the candidate with the second-greatest number of votes became Vice President. So in the elections of 1788, 1792, 1796, and 1800, Adams was a candidate for President, coming in second twice, first once, and third to Jefferson and Burr in 1800.


The president of the Senate is the vice president who is in office at that time.?

the vice president duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the vice president duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Why are the US president and vice president both from the same party?

The original concept in the US Constitution was that the Presidential candidate with a majority of electoral votes would become President, while the second-place candidate became Vice President, with each elector casting 2 votes for two different persons. However, problems with a tie (1800) and with partisan conflicts between the President and his Vice President, prompted the 12th Amendment (ratified 1804) whereby the President and Vice President are elected on separate ballots. Although some Vice Presidents may have had differences with the President, none has since been elected from a different party.


Who did Thomas Jefferson run against?

In the election of 1796, Thomas Jefferson represented the Democratic-Republican party against John Adams, who was a Federalist. John Adams won, and since Jefferson came in second, he became the vice president. Having a specific vice presidential candidate did not occur until some years later.


Who becomes president once a vice president president elect resigns?
