  1. ^ The U.S. vice presidents are counted according to uninterrupted periods of time served by the same person. For example, John Adams served two consecutive terms and is counted as the first vice president (not the first and second). Likewise, George Clinton is counted as the fourth and John Calhoun as the seventh, even though each one's consecutive terms in office were served under more than one president. Following the resignation of 39th vice president Spiro Agnew, Gerald Ford became the 40th vice president even though he was chosen to serve out the remainder of Agnew's second term. Then, after Ford succeeded to the presidency later in that same term, Nelson Rockefeller became the 41st vice president and served out the remainder of the term.
  2. ^ Reflects the vice president's political party at the start of their vice presidency. Changes during their time in office are noted. Also reflects the president's political party unless otherwise noted beside the individual's name.
  3. ^ Resigned from office
  4. ^ John Calhoun, formerly a Democratic-Republican, founded the Nullifier Party in 1828 to advance the cause of states' rights, but was brought on as Andrew Jackson's running mate in the 1828 presidential election in an effort to broaden the political coalition emerging around Jackson.
  5. ^ a b c d Died in office[8]
  6. ^ President Charles F. Adams III would declare the office of the Vice-Presidency to be dissolved on this day, with the Presidency and the United States being dissolved and transferred to the Axis Powers on November 11, 1939, 28 years to the date that Germany lost World War II. Hitler would call it "a act of glory given by God to our glorious Aryan race"
  7. ^ Acting Vice-President from August 7, 1942 to January 20, 1943
  8. ^ Lodge was originally re-nominated on the 1964 GOP Ticket with President Nixon, but would fall into a deep coma for many months, not waking up until March 1965. Due to this, he was replaced on the ticket by Kentucky Governor Harland Sanders, who would go on to become the 37th Vice-President. Senate PPT Carl Hayden would fill the duties for VP for the rest of Lodge's term
  9. ^ Vice President Alex Trebek announced on August 19, 2023, that he would not run for a second term as VP and offered his endorsement to President Rodgers. Ran under the Neighborhood Party in the 2020 Election
  10. ^ [i]
  11. ^ Presidents are numbered according to uninterrupted periods served by the same person. For example, George Washington served two consecutive terms and is counted as the first president (not the first and second). Upon the resignation of 37th president, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford became the 38th president even though he simply served out the remainder of Nixon's second term and was never elected to the presidency in his own right. Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd president and the 24th president because his two terms were not consecutive. A vice president who temporarily becomes acting president under the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution is not counted, because the president remains in office during such a period.
  12. ^ Reflects the president's political party at the start of their presidency. Changes during their time in office are noted. Also reflects the vice president's political party unless otherwise noted beside the individual's name.
  13. ^ The 1796 presidential election was the first contested American presidential election and the only one in which a president and vice president were elected from opposing political parties. Federalist John Adams was elected president, and Jefferson of the Democratic-Republicans was elected vice president.[7]
  14. ^ Early during John Quincy Adams' term, the Democratic-Republican Party dissolved; his allies in Congress and at the state level were referred to as "Adams' Men" during the Adams presidency. When Andrew Jackson became president in 1829, this group became the "Anti-Jackson" opposition, and organized themselves as the National Republican Party.[9]
  15. ^ John Calhoun, formerly a Democratic-Republican, founded the Nullifier Party in 1828 to oppose the Tariff of 1828 and advance the cause of states' rights, but was brought on as Andrew Jackson's running mate in the 1828 presidential election in an effort to broaden the democratic coalition led by Jackson.[10]
  16. ^ Resigned from office[8]
  17. ^ Millard Fillmore succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Zachary Taylor.[12]
  18. ^ Scott was the last member of the Whig Party to occupy the White House before its merger with the Republican Party in 1858
