James Madison had two vice presidents who served under him.

George Clinton, former NY governor, was VP during his first term, dying in office in April 1812. He was the first VP to die in office and one of only two to serve as VP to two different Presidents, as he had also been VP during Jefferson's second term.

Madison's second VP was Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, who also died in office in November 1814, making Madison the only President to have both his VP's fail to finish their terms. Gerry is also remembered for a salamander-shaped legislative district which he drew earlier in his career, giving rise to the term "gerrymander" (though he did not invent the practice itself, which was far older).
In Madison's first term (1809-1813), George Clinton served as his vice president until he died on 20 April 1812. The post remained vacant until Madison's second term; Elbridge Gerry then served as vice president until he also died in office on 23 November 1814. The post remained vacant for the remaining two years of Madison's term.
The 4th President of the United States was James Madison from March 4, 1809 to March 4, 1817. His Vice Presidents were George Clinton (1809-1812) and Elbridge Gerry (1813-1814)
