Theodore Roosevelt on the assassination of William McConnell in 1801, Calvin College on the death of Warren Harding in 1923, Harry S. Truman on the death of Franklin Roosevelt in 1945, and London B. Johnson on the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 has succeeded himself too.

Five vice presidents have won the presidency after completing their term of office, including John Adams in 1788 and 1792, who won the election in 1796 and became president in 1800.

It is followed by Richard Nixon, whose name appears on the ballot paper for the most recent presidential election in modern times, and who has been the victim of various situations. He was nominated by the Republican Party for the presidency but lost to John F. Kennedy. He remained silent in the next election and returned to the field in 1968. Not only did he win the election this time, but he was re-elected four years later. He is the only US president to have resigned.

He was Ronald Reagan’s vice president in 1980 and 1984 and became president himself in 1988 but failed to win re-election in 1992 and was defeated by Bill Clinton. There have been five vice presidents who ran for president, but success did not follow in their footsteps. In 1856, James Buchanan’s vice president, John Breckenridge, lost to Abraham Lincoln in 1860.
