Split the article in two?

edit

I was wondering-maybe we should split the article into 2 different ones. One for longevity and the other for deaths!

Elbridge Gerry?

edit

Is there no information about Gerry's cause of death? --Jerchel (talk) 17:21, 19 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

adding information

edit

Drdpw I don't see why that line shouldn't be there as it's not any different than the lines before and after. AmYisroelChai (talk) 20:18, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Agree with reference to the vacancy of vice president office.--Maher27777 (talk) 21:16, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
I restored the information, but moved it to the paragraph about pre-25th Amendment vacancies in the vice-presidency. Drdpw (talk) 22:18, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

median age

edit

the median age upon accession is the middle vp or the 2 middle ones divided in two so 48 vps makes the 24th and 25th vp by age the median their age divided in two עם ישראל חי (talk) 19:18, 7 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

When I finish modifying the 2nd table, I'll be interested to hear comments from pagewatchers. YBG (talk) 04:56, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Well, it turns out it didn't make that much difference. I could gain a little more room by removing the numbers. But all in all, we can all breathe a sigh of relief that I didn't try this out in the article itself. YBG (talk) 05:25, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
