Vice President-Elect11
Notes
- ^ Arriving in New York City before President-elect George Washington, Adams was sworn as Vice President nine days before the President.
- ^ a b c d e f g Died in office.
- ^ a b Resigned from office.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i Succeeded to Presidency upon death or resignation of President.
- ^ The only Vice President to be sworn in outside of the United States of America (in Havana, Cuba), with special dispensation from Congress.
- ^ Elected on the National Union Party ticket with Republican Abraham Lincoln
- ^ a b Became Vice President under provisions of 25th Amendment.
- ^ Invoked the presidential provision of the 25th Amendment on July 13, 1985, 11:28 a.m. until 7:22 p.m
- ^ A resident of Texas at the time of his nomination to Vice-President, Mr. Cheney changed his voter's registration back to Wyoming, where he served in Congress, to avoid violating the 12th amendment, which prohibits a presidential and vice presidential candidate residing in the same state from earning that state's electoral votes.
- ^ Invoked the presidential provision of the 25th Amendment on two separate occasions: on June 29, 2002, from 7:09 a.m. to 9:24 a.m, and on July 21, 2007, from 7:16 a.m. to 9:21 a.m
- ^ The term "Vice-President Elect is properly used once an election is over and there is no contest to that election. The meeting and tabulation of the Electoral College is irrelevant to the use of this term. The use of "Vice President-Presumptive" has no legal existence in United States Federal Law, and the only two times "Vice President-Designate" have ever been used is when Gerald R. Ford, and later Nelson Rockefeller, were nominated to the United States Congress by the sitting President of the United States to fill the empty office of Vice-President. Both Ford (nominated by President Nixon), and Rockefeller (nominated by President Ford after his ascension to the Presidency) were approved by a majority vote of both Houses of the US Congress, at which time they were simply "Vice-President".
