US Vice Presidents

Oh, dude, you're really testing my knowledge of vice presidents here! Okay, so the vice presidents from Indiana were Thomas A. Hendricks, who served under Grover Cleveland, and Dan Quayle, who was the VP under George H.W. Bush. Like, Indiana representing in the White House, who knew?

William Henry Harrison (illness), Zachary Taylor (illness), Abraham Lincoln (assassination), James A. Garfield (assassination), William McKinley (assassination), Warren G. Harding (illness), Franklin D. Roosevelt (stroke), John F. Kennedy (assassination).

According to Masonic Tradition passed down through the lessons of the Scottish Rite

32-33 Degree Honorary Brotherhood of Free Masons

I will pass on according to that Tradition that:

Yes, Arron Burr was a Free Mason, as were 33 or so of General Washington's Command during the Revolutionary War with Brittan. He was given a Masonic Trial as a Traitor and Expatriate along with a Treason Trial held separately by the government.

George Washington sitting as Master of his Lodge presided over his Masonic Trial, the end result was Arron Burr being banned from the Fraternal Order, and "shunned" by all Free Masons during that period. He was stripped of all his Masonic virtues, and pronounced guilty of Treason and Conduct unbecoming a Free Mason as a result of his guilty verdict.

Please Note that this is a Response to and Separate from the Above opinion.

I do not mean to discredit the above statement but here are a few facts to consider.

1.) George Washington presided over Alexandria Lodge No. 22, Virginia, from April 28, 1788 to December 20, 1789.

2.) Alexandria Lodge No. 22 has no record of him presiding over a tyled meeting or a Masonic Trial.

3.) George Washington passed away on December 14, 1799.

4.) The dual between Burr and Hamilton was on July 11, 1804.

5.) Burr was arrested on Feb 19,1807 in Alabama on charges of treason for plotting to annex Spanish territory in Louisiana and Mexico. Which he intended to be used toward the establishment of an independent republic.

6.) Burr was acquitted of the charges on September 1, 1807, on the grounds that, although he had conspired against the United States, he was not guilty of treason because he had not engaged in an "overt act," a requirement of treason as specified by the U.S. Constitution.

Given the above facts:

George Washington was a Master Mason and was a Master of his Lodge but could not have presided or even known of Burr's offenses as he had been dead for several years.

I can find no other reference, other than the above, that Aaron Burr was a Mason. However, I will ask the Grand Lodge of New Jersey as he was born and resided there.

Yes, the sentence should have an apostrophe to denote possession. It should be written as: "Linda and her vice presidents' are going to Brazil."

President william henry harrison- vice president john tyler

Both are in common usage. The US Constitution uses the hyphen as well as capitalization: the Vice-President . Purists might say the hyphen is needed to avoid confusion with a possible president of vice.

The 12th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution says that a person must be eligible for the presidency in order to be eligible for the vice presidency. Therefore, a person could not run for vice president if he/she has reached his/her presidential term limit. Otherwise, no problem.

Nelson Rockefeller was the Vice President of the United States until 1977. After him, Walter Mondale became Vice President under President Jimmy Carter.

In short, the basic qualifications are the same as the office of the President.
1. Natural-born US citizen
2. At least 35 years of age
3. Resided inside the US for no less than 14 years

Two vice presidents from Minnesota are Hubert H. Humphrey, who served as vice president under President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1965 to 1969, and Walter Mondale, who served as vice president under President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981.

If the vice president is unable to fulfill their duties or vacates their position, the president will nominate a new vice president, who must then be confirmed by a majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The newly appointed vice president will serve until the end of the original vice president's term.

Such is his Constitutional role. He sits up at the front of the Senate and chairs the meetings when he is there. The chairing is a formality- the Senate has rules that govern the debates and who gets the floor and for how long. However, the VP is allowed to break a tie-vote and there have been occasions when the VP decided some relatively important votes.

There is no record of a vice president from Huntington, Indiana. The only vice president from Indiana was Thomas A. Hendricks, who served from 1885 until his death in 1885. Hendricks was born in Ohio and served as the 21st Vice President of the United States under President Grover Cleveland.

The vice president of the United States is elected for a term of four years, just like the president. They are elected together on a single ticket. There are no term limits for the vice president, so they can potentially serve multiple terms if re-elected.

There weren't any U. S. Vice Presidents during 1856. Vice-President Wm King died in office in 1853 and in those days, vacancies in the office of vice president were not filled until the next Presidential election.

I believe its $200,000 to $400,000...not much for all the responsibility huh?!

He (and every Vice President except Charles Curtis) was white.

No. The current Vice President of the United States is Joe Biden.

However, nothing would prevent a woman from being Vice President or President. In 1980, Geraldine Ferraro was the Democratic nominee for Vice President, and in 2008, Sarah Palin was the Republican nominee for Vice President.

Aaron Burr was never President. He was the third U.S. Vice President, during Thomas Jefferson's first term.

Harry Truman's vice president was Alben W. Barkley. He was born in Graves County, Kentucky, USA.

The Vice President of the United States in 1819 was Daniel D. Tompkins. He served under President James Monroe's first term from 1817 to 1821. Tompkins had previously been the Governor of New York before assuming the position of Vice President.

"In government, a vice president is a person whose primary responsibility is to replace the president on the event of his or her death, resignation or incapacity. The vice president sometimes assumes some of the ceremonial duties of the president, such as attending functions and events that the actual president may be too busy to attend; the Vice President of the United States, for example, often attends funerals of world leaders on behalf of the President. In business, ""vice president"" refers to a rank in management."

The President-Elect and Vice-President-Elect take the Oath of Office and begin their terms on the 20th of January following their election at 12 noon, as directed by the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Amendment didn't specify a time zone, but it always takes place at noon of Washington's local standard time, which in January is American Eastern Standard Time (UTC - 5 hours).
