How many Presidents of the US did not have a Vice President?

Presidents John Tyler (1841-1845), Millard Fillmore (1850-1853), Andrew Johnson (1865-1869) and Chester Arthur (1881-1885) did not have a Vice President during their entire presidency. The reason for this was that they were all Vice Presidents who became President after the death of the President. The office of Vice President was then not filled during their only term as President.

Ridiculously worded question.

Richard Rubright

You implied never had. The answer as worded should be zero.

Tom Green

Poorly worded question.

jonbroberts, thank you. If the 25th Amendment hadn't been ratified when President Kennedy was assassinated, the answer to the question should be 5, wouldn't it?

LBJ had Hubert Humphrey and Gerald Ford had Nelson Rockefeller.

What of Lyndon B. Johnson after Kenndy was assassinated?

I'm not sure anyone would have wanted to serve under any of these guys. Tyler was elected to the Confederate congress.

George Oliver Prince

Probably none of these would have become president on their own

Gene Payne

Poorly worded question, it didn’t ask serving during their entire term without a vice-president only presidents of the US who did not have a vice-president. That would include all vacancies of vice-presidents up until passage of the 25th Amendment.
