MORE

HE’S NOT THE ONLY VICE PRESIDENT TO SHOOT SOMEONE WHILE IN OFFICE {COUGH DICK CHENEY AHEM}… BUT HE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO DO IT ON PURPOSE

I THINK

MORE

VICE PRESIDENT TO THOMAS JEFFERSON / #3 AND JAMES MADISON / #4

ONE OF TWO VEEPS TO SERVE UNDER TWO DIFFERENT PRESIDENTS

YOU’RE GONNA NEED TO IMAGE SEARCH THIS GUY’S EYEBROWS; THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT

MORE

VICE PRESIDENT TO JAMES MADISON / #4

REPLACED THE PREVIOUS GUY, WHO DIED IN OFFICE

ALSO DIED IN OFFICE

(MADISON WAS THE ONLY POTUS TO HAVE TWO VPS DIE IN OFFICE; HE HIMSELF ALSO NEARLY DIED)

VICE PRESIDENT TO JAMES MONROE // #5

MORE

VICE PRESIDENT TO JOHN QUINCY ADAMS / #6 AND ANDREW JACKSON / #7

ONE OF TWO VICE PRESIDENTS TO SERVE UNDER TWO PRESIDENTS

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: GO AHEAD AND DO AN IMAGE SEARCH ON HIM. IT’S HORRIFYING. AND IT’S OK THAT I SAY THAT, BECAUSE HE WAS A TERRIBLE PERSON

NOW GO AHEAD AND DO AN IMAGE SEARCH FOR “YOUNG JOHN CALHOUN” (Hoping that last search will cleanse your brain so you don’t have nightmares tonight)

MORE

VICE PRESIDENT TO ANDREW JACKSON / #7

ENGLISH WASN’T HIS FIRST LANGUAGE — DUTCH WAS

HE WAS ALSO THE FIRST PRESIDENT BORN A U.S. CITIZEN

HAD A SUPER-FANCY TOILET (ONE OF THE FIRST INDOOR TOILETS IN THE COUNTRY)

HIS HOME WAS “COMMODIOUS,” WHICH DISAPPOINTINGLY MEANS “BIG” AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FANCY COMMODE

MORE

VICE PRESIDENT TO MARTIN VAN BUREN / #8

HE WAS COMMON-LAW MARRIED TO JULIA, A WOMAN HE ENSLAVED. HE NEVER FREED HER, BUT THEY DID SEEM TO BE A FAMILY. HE MADE SURE THEIR DAUGHTERS RECEIVED A SUPERIOR EDUCATION. JULIA RAN HIS BUSINESS WHILE HE WAS AWAY.

SHE DIED FOUR YEARS BEFORE HE WAS VP

(I NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS GUY)

VICE PRESIDENT TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN / #16

UNFORTUNATELY

WE MIGHT BE IN BETTER SHAPE IF LINCOLN’S ORIGINAL VP (HANNIBAL HAMLIN) WAS IN OFFICE WHEN HE WAS ASSASSINATED

JOHNSON WAS TERRIBLE. BUT, HE DID RISE UP FROM BEING A POOR, ILLITERATE INDENTURED SERVANT TO BEING THE POTUS… SO, THAT’S SOMETHING
