So here as some that were more prominent.

  • John C. Calhoun-- became a force in the Senate and in the South
  • Martin Van Buren was a powerful cabinet member and later president
  • Richard Nixon- attracted attention while VP and went on to win 2 presidential elections

I am not sure what you want to know. The President can not and does not informally transfer his powers to the vice-president or anybody else. If the President is disabled and unable to perform his duties, he must transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. At that point, the vice-president takes over the President's duties. (I suppose the vice-president could be visiting the president in , say a hospital room, when the president tells him that he has sent such letters.)
