» Mugwump53 - Vice-Presidential Trivia Question #5

Al Gore is trying to do what George Bush did: get elected President while serving as Vice-President. Beofre Bush, who was the last incumbent Vice-President to be elected President?

» Mugwump53 - Not Harry

Nope, not Harry. He was elected President while serving as President. The question calls for a Vice-President elected while still serving in the second spot, as Goerge Bush was. That would eliminate all VPs who finished someone else's term.

You can't blame my bad hints this time Try someone much earlier.

I wouldn't blame your hints...I appreciate them immensly. I even left a hint over on my site for you, but I am not sure it will help much.

Anyway could you be speaking of Martin Van Buren?
