<P> The Twenty - fifth Amendment also established a procedure whereby a Vice President may, if the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office, temporarily assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President . George H.W. Bush did so once, on July 13, 1985 . Dick Cheney did so twice, on June 29, 2002, and on July 21, 2007 . </P> <P> U.S. Vice Presidents have hailed from 21 states . More than half of them have come from just five states: New York (11), Indiana (6), Massachusetts (4), Kentucky (3) and Texas (3). Most U.S. Vice Presidents have been in their 50s or 60s and had political experience prior to assuming the office . The youngest person to become Vice President was John C. Breckinridge at 36 years of age, while the oldest was Alben W. Barkley at 71 years of age . Two U.S. Vice Presidents--George Clinton and John C. Calhoun--served under more than one President . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="9"> Pro-Administration (1) Federalist (1) Democratic - Republican (6) Nullifier (1) Democratic (17) Whig (2) Republican (21) National Union (1) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Vice presidency </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Vice President </Th> <Th> Prior office </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Party </Th> <Th> Election </Th> <Th> President </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> April 21, 1789--March 4, 1797 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> John Adams 1735--1826 (Lived: 90 years) </Td> <Td> United States Minister to the Court of St. James's (1785--1788) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Pro - Admin . </Td> <Td> (1788--89) </Td> <Td> George Washington </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Federalist </Td> <Td> (1792) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> March 4, 1797--March 4, 1801 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Thomas Jefferson 1743--1826 (Lived: 83 years) </Td> <Td> 1st United States Secretary of State (1790--1793) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic - Republican </Td> <Td> (1796) </Td> <Td> John Adams </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> March 4, 1801--March 4, 1805 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Aaron Burr 1756--1836 (Lived: 80 years) </Td> <Td> Member of the New York State Assembly (1784--1785 & 1798--1799) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic - Republican </Td> <Td> (1800) </Td> <Td> Thomas Jefferson </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> March 4, 1805--April 20, 1812 (Died in office) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> George Clinton 1739--1812 (Lived: 72 years) </Td> <Td> 1st Governor of New York (1777--1795 & 1801--1804) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic - Republican </Td> <Td> 5 (1804) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 6 (1808) </Td> <Td> James Madison </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="7"> Office vacant April 20, 1812--March 4, 1813 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> March 4, 1813--November 23, 1814 (Died in office) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Elbridge Gerry 1744--1814 (Lived: 70 years) </Td> <Td> 9th Governor of Massachusetts (1810--1812) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Democratic - Republican </Td> <Td> 7 (1812) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="7"> Office vacant November 23, 1814--March 4, 1817 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> March 4, 1817--March 4, 1825 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Daniel D.
