Vice Presidents are like losing football teams. No one remembers their names for long. Out of 49 administrations, nine vice presidents have ascended to the presidency after the death, resignation or impeachment of the President. And while 18 have run for the office outright, only 6 have been elected President.
Apparently, they can’t get no respect.
