List of vice presidents of the United States

This is a list of people who have served as vice president of the United States. As of 2025, there have been 50 vice presidents. JD Vance has served as the 50th and current vice president since 2025.

If a president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the vice president becomes president. Eight vice presidents have become president through the president's death (John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry S. Truman, and Lyndon B. Johnson); Gerald Ford is the only vice president to become president through the president's resignation. Spiro Agnew is the only vice president to resign. Two vice presidents, Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller, were appointed by the president. Three vice presidents have temporarily served as acting president when the president was unavailable: George H. W. Bush on July 13, 1985; Dick Cheney on June 29, 2002 and on July 21, 2007; and Kamala Harris on November 19, 2021.

The youngest person to become vice president was John C. Breckinridge at 36 years old; the oldest was Alben W. Barkley at 71 years old. Two vice presidents, George Clinton and John C. Calhoun, served under more than one president. Six vice presidents (John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Van Buren, Richard Nixon, George H. W. Bush, and Joe Biden) were later elected president. Charles Curtis was the first vice president of color. Kamala Harris was the first female vice president.
