Oh yeah, that’s back when people actually ran for Vice President unlike today where presidential candidates chose their own running mates.

I knew Calhoun, and thought there had to be another one, maybe two more. I was thinking John Adams under Washington and Jefferson, but knew Burr was TJ's Veep for his first term and the law for selecting VP had changed. So I guessed two. It's so much fun to be able to think these things through, even if you're wrong.
