The reason that there have been four more U. S. Vice Presidents than there have been U. S. Presidents is due to the eleven Presidents who did not have just one Vice President.

Six Presidents, Madison, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, McKinley and Nixon, each had two Vice Presidents (a 6-VP surplus).

One President, Franklin Roosevelt, had three Vice Presidents (a 2-VP surplus).

Six extra plus two extra minus four short equals four extra.

Can a president of the US put there spouse as vice president?

== == == == == == There's nothing in the Constitution that says anything about who the president (or anyone else) can and can't marry. Of course, there are plenty of practical reasons why that wouldn't be the smartest arrangement.

For security reasons, the President and Vice President usually don't travel together (so if there's an assassination attempt on the President, the VP can be kept safe, in case the president dies and the VP has to take over). That, by itself, would put a lot of strain on a marital relationship, on top of the fact that, under normal circumstances, the president and his or her spouse are usually so busy they hardly ever get to see each other.

The marital status of the President and the Vice-President are not legislated or discussed in the Constitution, so there is nothing to prevent it.

The political parties choose the candidates, using whatever process they select. They hold a national nominating convention for that purpose. There may be primary elections held in advance to choose a state's delegation to the convention or influence how they vote.

This has to be done in each state. From a practical standpoint it requires party organization to get the signatures collected and the petitions properly filed.

How many presidents have become president because they were vice president at the time of their presidents' incapacitation?

Nine vice presidents have taken office as president after the incapacitation of the previous president. Eight of them came to office following the death of the president, and one, Gerald Ford, became president following the one presidential resignation [Richard Nixon] in US history to date. See links for details.

When Nixon's vice president Spiro Agnew resigned, Gerald Ford was appointed vice president according to Constitutional provisions. When Nixon later resigned, Ford became the only president so far who was never elected to the presidency OR to the vice presidency. In essence, he was an appointed, not elected, president.

We in the US are fortunate that provisions were already in place to handle the unusual circumstances involved in the Nixon resignation. Less involved transitions have caused turmoil in other countries. Having an orderly and reasonable system for the transfer of power is an essential element in modern democracies. You can look to several currently unfolding transitions for evidence of this.
