As of 2009, Joseph Biden is the 47th US Vice President. Some Presidents have had more than one Vice President, , two vice presidents have served under more than one president (George Clinton and John C. Calhoun) and four (Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson, and Arthur) had no Vice President during their successions.
Theodore Roosevelt - because he was vice president to William McKinley, which was the 25th President.
Certainly! There are many Vice-Presidents that have served as President, both because of the death of a president and because they were elected.
Theodore Roosevelt
because there is a president and a vice president thats why he said we have two presidents
No, President Barack H. Obama is the 44th US President. Vice President Joseph R. Biden, however, is the 47th Vice President, due to different presidents changing vice presidents throughout their terms. Confusing, no?
