There have been 47 Vice Presidents of the United States The Vice President of the United States is the holder of a public office created by the United States Constitution. The vice president, together with the President of the United States, is indirectly elected by the people through the Electoral College to a four-year term. The vice president is the first person in the presidential line of from John Adams John Adams was an American politician and political philosopher and the second President of the United States (1797–1801), after being the first Vice President of the United States (1789–1797) for two terms. He was one of the most influential Founding Fathers of the United States to Joe Biden Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr. is the 47th and current Vice President of the United States under the administration of President Barack Obama. He was a United States Senator from Delaware from January 3, 1973 until his resignation on January 15, 2009, following his election to the Vice Presidency. Biden was born in Scranton,. Originally, the Vice President was the person who received the second most votes for President The President of the United States is the head of state and head of government of the United States. The president leads the executive branch of the federal government and is one of only two nationally elected federal officers, the other being the Vice President of the United States in the Electoral College The Electoral College consists of the popularly elected representatives who formally elect the President and Vice President of the United States. Since 1964, there have been 538 electors in each presidential election. Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution specifies how many electors each state is entitled to have and that each state'. However, in the election of 1800 a tie in the electoral college between Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776). Jefferson was one of the most influential Founding Fathers, known for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States. Jefferson envisioned America as the force behind a great " and Aaron Burr Aaron Burr, Jr. served as the third Vice President of the United States (1801–1805) under President Thomas Jefferson, and was the first vice president to never serve as president. He fought in the Revolutionary War, was an important political figure in the nation's early history, and spent much of his career after politics engaging in a number led to the selection of the President by the House of Representatives The United States House of Representatives, commonly referred to as the "House," is the lower house of the bicameral United States Congress, the upper house being the United States Senate. To prevent such an event from happening again, the Twelfth Amendment The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides the procedure by which the President and Vice President are elected. It replaced Article II, Section 1, Clause 3, which provided the original procedure by which the Electoral College functioned. Problems with this procedure were demonstrated in the elections of 1796 and 1800. The was added to the Constitution, creating the current system where electors cast a separate ballot for the Vice Presidency.[1]

The Vice President has few powers explicitly provided for in the constitution. His primary function is to succeed to the Presidency if that office becomes open due to the death, resignation or removal from office (via the impeachment process) of a sitting President. Nine Vice Presidents have ascended to the Presidency in this way. In addition, the Vice President serves as the President of the Senate The United States Senate is the upper house of the bicameral United States Congress, the lower house being the House of Representatives. The composition and powers of the Senate and the House are established in Article One of the U.S. Constitution . Each U.S state is represented by two senators, regardless of population. Senators serve staggered and may choose to cast a tie-breaking vote on decisions made by the Senate. Vice Presidents have exercised this latter power to varying extents over the years.[1] The Vice Presidency was described by former VP John Nance Garner John Nance Garner IV, nicknamed "Cactus Jack" , was the 44th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives (1931–33) and the 32nd Vice President of the United States (1933–41) in 1960 as "not worth a bucket of warm piss Urine is a sterile, liquid by-product of the body that is secreted by the kidneys through a process called urination and excreted through the urethra. Cellular metabolism generates numerous by-products, many rich in nitrogen, that require elimination from the bloodstream. These by-products are eventually expelled from the body in a process known".[2]

Prior to passage of the Twenty-fifth Amendment The Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution deals with succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, as well as responding to Presidential disabilities. It supersedes the ambiguous wording of Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution, which does, a vacancy in the office of the Vice President could not be replaced until the next election. Such vacancies were common; sixteen occurred before the 25th Amendment was passed as a result of seven deaths, one resignation, and eight cases where the Vice President succeeded to the Presidency. This amendment allowed for a vacancy to be filled with appointment by the President and confirmation by both houses of Congress. Since its passage two Vice Presidents have been appointed through that process, Gerald Ford Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. was the 38th President of the United States, serving from 1974 to 1977, and the 40th Vice President of the United States serving from 1973 to 1974. As the first person appointed to the vice-presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment, when he became President upon Richard Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974, he also in 1973 and Nelson Rockefeller Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller was the 41st Vice President of the United States, the 49th governor of New York, a public servant, statesman, businessman, art collector, and philanthropist in 1974.[1]

Vice Presidents have hailed from 21 states. More than half have come from only five states, New York (11), Indiana (5), Massachusetts (4), Kentucky (3), and Texas (3). Most Vice Presidents have been in their 50s or 60s and had political experience prior to assuming the office.[1]
