While her two closest competitors John C. Calhoun (31) and John Adam’s (29) aren’t far off, it took them both two terms to reach those numbers.
The most any fellow one term VP had was 19, achieved by George M. Dallas (1845-1849).
Bonus mildly interesting: Considering the VP has very few constitutionally-defined duties, that also makes her, officially, the hardest-working, most-effective VP in history.
Doesn’t that just mean there were more ties due to an evenly divided Senate?
Yeah, I bet if you sort VPs by tie-breaking votes you’ll be able to find the most evenly divided senates. I almost added this to my post but didn’t want to do any more research or compromise the mildness of the interest of the post 🙃
I appreciate your dedication to not being too dedicated.
Gee I wonder why.
I’m actually surprised it’s that low.
