Originally, the Vice President was the person who received the second most votes for President of the United States in the Electoral College. However, in the election of 1800, a tie in the electoral college between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr led to the selection of the President by the House of Representatives. To prevent such an event from happening again, the Twelfth Amendment was added to the Constitution, creating the current system where electors cast a separate ballot for the vice presidency. The Vice President is the first person in the presidential line of succession, and assumes that office if the President dies, resigns, or is impeached and removed from office. Nine vice presidents have ascended to the presidency in this way : eight ( John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson ) through the president 's death, and one ( Gerald Ford ) through the president 's resignation. In addition, the Vice President serves as the President of the Senate and may choose to cast a tie - breaking vote on decisions made by the Senate. U.S. Vice Presidents have exercised this latter power to varying extents over the years. Prior to adoption of the Twenty - fifth Amendment in 1967, an intra-term vacancy in the office of the Vice President could not be filled until the next post-election inauguration. Several such vacancies occurred -- seven vice presidents died, one resigned, and eight succeeded to the presidency. This amendment allowed for a vacancy to be filled through appointment by the President and confirmation by both chambers of the U.S. Congress. Since its ratification, the vice presidency has been vacant twice ( both in the context of scandals surrounding the Nixon Administration ), and was filled both times through this process : in 1973, following Spiro Agnew 's resignation, and again in 1974, after Gerald Ford succeeded to the presidency. The amendment also established a procedure whereby a Vice President may, if the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office, temporarily assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. George H.W. Bush did so once, on July 13, 1985. Dick Cheney did so twice, on June 29, 2002, and on July 21, 2007. The persons who have served as vice president were born in or primarily affiliated with 27 states plus the District of Columbia. New York has produced the most of any state, as eight have been born there, and three others considered it their home state. Most U.S. Vice Presidents have been in their 50s or 60s and had political experience prior to assuming the office. The youngest person to become Vice President was John C. Breckinridge at 36 years of age, while the oldest was Alben W. Barkley at 71 years of age. Two U.S. Vice Presidents -- George Clinton and John C. Calhoun -- served under more than one President.

Breckinridge, as Confederate States Secretary of War, 1865. Notes ^ Jump up to : 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. Jump up ^ Listed here ( unless otherwise noted ) is the most recent position -- either with a U.S. state or the federal government, or with a private corporation -- held by the individual prior to becoming Vice President of the United States. Jump up ^ Due to logistical delays, John Adams assumed the office of Vice President 1 month and 17 days after the March 4, 1789 scheduled start of operations of the new government under the Constitution. As a result, his first term was only 1,413 days long, and was the shortest term for a U.S. vice president who neither died in office nor resigned. Jump up ^ Pro-Administration is a contemporary term used to describe the supporters of the political and economic policies of the Washington Administration prior to the formation of the Federalist and Democratic -- Republican parties. Jump up ^ George Washington remained unaffiliated with any political faction or party throughout his eight - year presidency. Greatly concerned about the very real capacity of political parties to destroy the fragile unity holding the nation together, he was, and remains, the only U.S. President never to be affiliated with a political party. Jump up ^ The 1796 presidential election was the first contested American presidential election and resulted in a situation where the persons elected President and Vice President belonged to opposing political parties. Federalist John Adams was elected President, and Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic - Republicans was elected Vice President. ^ Jump up to : Prior to ratification of the Twenty - fifth Amendment, February 10, 1967, an intra-term vacancy in the vice presidency could not be filled. Jump up ^ 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. Jump up ^ Andrew Jackson 's supporters from the former Democratic - Republican Party, which had largely collapsed by the mid-1820s, began calling themselves Democrat ' during his first term in office, thus marking the evolution of Thomas Jefferson 's Democratic - Republican Party into the modern Democratic Party. Jump up ^ Ill with tuberculosis, William King traveled to Cuba after the 1852 election in an effort to regain his health, and was not able to be in Washington, D.C. to take his oath of office on March 4, 1853. By a Special Act of Congress, he was allowed to take the oath outside the United States, and was sworn in on March 24, 1853 near Matanzas, Cuba. He is the only Vice President to take his oath of office in a foreign country. Jump up ^ When he ran for reelection in 1864, Republican Abraham Lincoln formed a bipartisan electoral alliance with War Democrats by selecting Democrat Andrew Johnson as his running mate, and running on the National Union Party ticket. Jump up ^ The Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified on January 23, 1933, moved Inauguration Day from March 4 to January 20, beginning in 1937. As a result, John Nance Garner 's first term in office was 1 month and 12 days shorter than a normal term. ^ Jump up to : The Twenty - fifth Amendment established a process whereby an intra-term vacancy in the vice presidency is filled by presidential appointment.
