Who was the vice president under James Madisons?
Madison’ second VP was Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, who also died in office in November 1814, making Madison the only President to have both his VP’s fail to finish their terms. Gerry is also remembered for a salamander-shaped legislative district which he drew earlier in his career, giving rise to the term “gerrymander” (though he did not invent the practice itself, which was far older).
