A U.S. President with a vice president from an opposing party?

Question

Since around 1900 has there been a U.S. President who had a vice president from an opposing party?

Answer 1

No, this has not happned since the Early 1800s when the Person with the MOST votes became President and the Second Most Votes became Vice President.

A constitutional amendment changed that.

Answer 2

-This is completely impossible. Im pretty sure the last time this has happened was in the Election of 1798, when Adams (Federalist) and Jefferson (Dem-Rep.) were elected. This was because of the way elections were. The top two vote getters were the President and the Vice President. It was changed to the Electoral College system, where the President runs with the Vice President, with the 12th Amendment in 1804.
-The only way this would be possible is...for example the Vice President Cheney resigns or dies, the Speaker of the House Democrat Nancy Pelosi would be the the president. This hasnt happened, because the only times it has happened, the speaker has been of the same party as the President.

Answer 3

Well when the Republican Party became the Union Party during the Civil War to attract War Democrats who supported the Union, Democrat Andrew Johnson nominated for Vice President under the Union Banner.

Answer 4

Not feasible. If the president dies-the other party would suddenly have the White House. And, in a tie vote between the parties in the Senate, the deciding vote would come at the expense of the White House.

Answer 5

That would surely defeat the purpose of the two party system, no??

Answer 6

Well Johnson was a "democrat" and by quotes I mean he switched just to help Kennedy win. He was really a republican.

Answer 7

Nope.

Answer 8

It's called "balancing the ticket"...fyi.

Answer 9

nope
