Has there ever been a time when we haven't had a vice president?

John Adams was sworn in as our first Vice President in 1789 and in the 234 years since then, we've gone without a VP for 37 years and 290 days.

Until the ratification of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, there was no mechanism for filling a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, so in several instances we've gone almost entire Presidential terms without a Vice President.

7 Vice Presidents Died In Office: •George Clinton (Jefferson's second VP & Madison's first VP), died April 20, 1812, leaving the Vice Presidency vacant for 318 days. •Elbridge Gerry (Madison's second VP), died November 23, 1814, leaving a vacancy for 2 years, 101 days. •William Rufus DeVane King (Pierce's VP), died April 18, 1853, leaving a vacancy for 3 years, 320 days. •Henry Wilson (Grant's second VP), died November 22, 1875, leaving a vacancy for 1 year, 102 days. •Thomas A. Hendricks (Cleveland's first VP), died November 24, 1885, leaving a vacancy for 3 years, 99 days. •Garret A. Hobart (McKinley's first VP), died November 21, 1899, leaving a vacancy for 1 year, 103 days. •James S. Sherman (Taft's VP), died October 30, 1912, leaving a vacancy for 125 days.

2 Vice Presidents Resigned: •John C. Calhoun (VP under John Quincy Adams and Jackson's first VP), resigned on December 28, 1832, leaving a vacancy for 66 days. •Spiro Agnew (Nixon's first VP), resigned on October 10, 1973, leaving a vacancy for 57 days.

9 Vice Presidents Succeeded to the Presidency: •John Tyler (William Henry Harrison's VP), assumed office upon President Harrison's death on April 4, 1841, leaving a VP vacancy for 3 years, 333 days. •Millard Fillmore (Taylor's VP), assumed office upon President Taylor's death on July 9, 1850, leaving a VP vacancy for 2 years, 238 days. •Andrew Johnson (Lincoln's second VP), assumed office upon President Lincoln's death on April 15, 1865, leaving a VP vacancy for 3 years, 323 days. •Chester Arthur (Garfield's VP), assumed office upon President Garfield's death on September 19, 1881, leaving a VP vacancy for 3 years, 166 days. •Theodore Roosevelt (McKinley's second VP), assumed office upon President McKinley's death on September 14, 1901, leaving a VP vacancy for 3 years, 171 days. •Calvin Coolidge (Harding's VP), assumed office upon President Harding's death on August 2, 1923, leaving a VP vacancy for 1 year, 214 days. •Harry S. Truman (FDR's third VP), assumed office upon President Roosevelt's death on April 12, 1945, leaving a VP vacancy for 3 years, 283 days. •Lyndon B. Johnson (JFK's VP), assumed office upon President Kennedy's death on November 22, 1963, leaving a VP vacancy for 1 year, 59 days. •Gerald Ford (Nixon's second VP), assumed office upon President Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974, leaving a VP vacancy for 132 days.

Only two Vice Presidential vacancies have been filled under the provisions of the 25th Amendment. Gerald Ford was appointed to the Vice Presidency by President Nixon following Spiro Agnew's resignation in October 1973 and was confirmed by Congress in December 1973 (a nominee to fill a Vice Presidential vacancy must be confirmed separately by a majority vote of both chambers of Congress). On August 9, 1974, Nixon resigned as President and Ford succeeded to the White House, leaving the Vice Presidency vacant for the second time in less than a year. President Ford nominated Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President on August 20 and he was confirmed by Congress in December 1974.

R. B. Bowman, one of five members of the Workers Ex-Servicemen League to meet with Vice President Charles Curtis to demand early payment of a World War I bonus, is shown with his youngest son Jerry near the Capitol in Washington, D.C. July 18, 1932.

Curtis declined to support the early payment of the bonus and then gave the child two dimes during the visit.

I feel like there should somehow be a study on how people who consumed a lot of a certain type of heightened-reality, often-campy media growing up (I'm thinking daytime soaps, kdramas/cdramas, Bollywood cinema, telenovelas, old school romance novels) react to OTT fiction compared to how people who were not as fortunate in their youth

because you may read a book and go "it's legitimately ridiculous for the vice president to secretly sneak into a foreign country to rescue the kidnapped First Lady, his girlfriend, personally, I can't take this seriously" while I will read that same book and go "I mean............ what exactly were they supposed to do, he was the best guy for the job, Let Him Work, I'm crying right now"

#romance novel blogging #anyway just finished sierra simone's salt in the wound #and the way she carried the thread of embry moore vice president of the United States of America going to sex clubs in a suit w a flag pen #.... incredible #what is the point of ash hiding in the shadows when embry is just gonna show up like 'hello yes it is me i'm the vice president'

my favorite thing about the succession fandom is that kendall absolutely wasn't at fault for doddy's death, yet we all discuss it as though kendall meticulously planned his murder for years

#like. it really really only became a problem once logan covered it up #also like. there are tons of famous celebrities that have killed people and they're still rich and famous #the vice president of the united states shot his friend in the face with a shotgun. and he was still vice president for two more years #succession #kendall roy

Kennedy Jr. to announce his campaign’s vice presidential candidate in California

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would announce his independent presidential candidacy on March 26 in Oakland, California, his campaign announced on Tuesday.

Kennedy is making the early announcement due to ballot access rules in many states requiring independent candidates to name their vice presidential nominees before they can begin the process.

He told The New York Times this week that NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura are among the potential candidates.

Rodgers, the longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback, shares Kennedy’s distrust of vaccines and, like Kennedy, appears on podcasts regularly. Ventura, a former professional wrestler, shocked observers when he won the 1998 Minnesota governor’s race as an independent candidate.

Kennedy began his presidential campaign as a primary challenge to Democratic President Joe Biden, but later changed course and became an independent. Kennedy’s father was attorney general for the candidate’s uncle, President John F. Kennedy.
