13 hours ago13 hr The question is really not worded properly. Are you asking how many overall VP's became president regardless of whether they succeeded after death or assassination (both Johnsons, Tyler, Arthur, etc.), or how many were subsequently elected on their own, (for instance, Adams, Jefferson, Biden etc.), or are you just looking for the total number of men who were at one time VP and then POTUS?Just plain total would be B: 15.(Sorry, the Civics teacher in me had to pick apart your question!!!)

10 hours ago10 hr Well obviously, citytrader knows his stuff. Of course he may be deliberately misleading us with a wrong answer. But I'll go with his answer anyway: B: 15. And if he's wrong, I'll just blame him.
6 hours ago6 hr Well, we know citytrader personally witnessed news accounts when each of those VP's took over the top job, and while his mind isn't what it used to be, he does tend to retain useless factoids like that...at least in comparison to him remembering to wear pants on any day of the week, so I'll also say B: 15...
