The vice presidents who were nominated by their parties and lost the election were Thomas Jefferson in 1996, Richard Nixon in 1960, Hubert Humphrey in 1968, Bob Dole in 1996 and Al Gore in 2000. Former Vice Presidents John Adams, Martin Van Buren, Theodore Roosevelt, Gerald Ford and George W. Bush also lost presidential elections, but only after they were President.
Which Vice presidents were left handed?
There have been eight left-handed Vice Presidents in United States history: George H.W. Bush, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Joe Biden, and James Garfield. Left-handedness is relatively rare, with only about 10% of the population being left-handed. The fact that there have been multiple left-handed Vice Presidents is statistically significant and noteworthy.
Did any US Presidents attend Colorado School of Mines?
Yes. At least President Barack Obama has, although he was only the Democratic Presidential Candidate at the time.By attend, do you mean visited or has been to the Colorado School of Mines? Because he certainly didn't "attend" as in having been enrolled as a student at the school.
Which president was the only vice president to become president without following the president for whom he served as vice-president?
Of the 14 U. S. Vice Presidents who became President, the only one whose presidency did not immediately follow his vice presidency is Richard M. Nixon. He did run for president while still the incumbent vice president, but he lost that election (1960) and did not run again for president until 8 years later. It's interesting that Nixon preceded Lyndon Johnson as vice president, but Johnson preceded Nixon as president.
