Presidents and their Vice-Presidents: Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the United States since the ratification and implementation of the Federal Constitution and the election of the first president (George Washington).  Format and Symbols use on this page: Name of President (Years in office)--Political Party (Federalist, Democratic-Republican, Democrat, Whig, Republican) Name of Vice-President (Years in office) Symbols: †=Died in office, †* = Assassinated in office, *= Survived Assassination attempt NOTE: Where the word "none" is in place of a vice-president's name, that means that their was no vice-president at that time. Until the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which took effect in in 1967, there was no legal procedure to replace a vice-president who became president upon the death of the sitting president, resigned, or died in office. Until President Nixon appointed Gerald Ford to be his new vice-president (following Vice-President Agnew's resignation), in 1974, all vacancies remained unfilled until the next presidential election and the inauguration of the new vice-president. In the case of both Vice-Presidents Ford and Rockefeller, a few months did pass without a sitting vice-president while they awaited confirmation by the Senate.
