With all eyes on their presidential bosses, the vice presidents of the United States have often been relegated to the background. But they are an intriguing group, and now - in this unprecedented and meticulously researched volume - the forty-seven men who have held this position take center stage.
Through facts, figures, and untold stories, presidential historian and puzzle aficionado Ian Randal Strock answers countless questions, including:
- Which two vice presidents were indicted for treason? (Aaron Burr and John Breckenridge; only the second was convicted.)
- Which VP fathered the most childeren? (John Tyler wins with fifteen.)
- How old is the average VP? (Fifty-four.)
Anyone interested in going beyond the headlines and learning about the history of powers behind the White House will want to pore over this one-of-a-kind reference. Packed with facts, trivia, and lists about all of America's VPs as well as many of the country's high-ranking political appointees, Ranking the Vice Presidents presents the hidden history of the nation's second-in-command.
