11:16 Adlai Stevenson I (Vice President to Grover Cleveland) is actually the Grandfather of Adlai Stevenson II (1952 and 1956 democratic Presidential nominee).
9:20 I was actually taking a pause while watching the movie Lincoln (2012) to watch this little VTH video, but now I feel I should go back and finish the movie first...
Some quotes about being V.P. from the V.P.: -John Adams: "The most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived." -Theodore Roosevelt: "Cul de sac." -John Nance Garner: "A bucket of warm piss," and “The worst damn fool mistake I ever made.” -Calvin Coolidge: “I enjoyed my time as vice president. It never interfered with my mandatory 11 hours of sleep a day.” -Harry Truman: “Look at all the vice presidents in history. Where are they? They were about as useful as a cow’s fifth teat.” Other quotes about being V.P.: -Johnny Carson: "Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president." -Will Rogers: "The man with the best job in the country is the vice president. All he has to do is get up every morning and say, 'How is the president?" -Sen. Daniel Webster of New Hampshire, on rejecting an offer to be future President William -Henry Harrison’s running mate in 1839: “I do not propose to be buried until I am really dead.”
Thomas Marshall also said that "Death had to take [Theodore] Roosevelt sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight." after he died. He was the incumbent VP at the time. Ironic that he served under Woodrow Wilson, of all people.
Hey Chris I think you’ll like very much the channel “voices of the past” which is dedicated to telling first hand accounts of different events through history
Fun fact - Daniel Tompkins unsuccessfully ran for governor of New York in 1820. Imagine a sitting VP doing that today, especially during their first term.
21:00 I like how that comment was so nonsensical and stupid that even Chris gave the Rock eyebrow. Ignore Pence, Mulan was an awesome movie. The 90s one of course.
Rutherford B. Hayes, our 19th President, would insist people call him general Hayes after his Presidency. He was a Civil War general and would say that General was the most important title he ever held. Also if you're ever in Northwest Ohio, come visit Spiegel Grove, the home of General Hayes and his wife Lucy. It's one of my favorite places in NW Ohio :)
It should be noted that even though Al Gore accepted the Oscar, he didn't win it. Davis Guggenheim (the director of "An Inconvenient Truth") won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. Gore was given the opportunity to give a speech, but his name isn't on the statuette.
Omg, I’ve been waiting for this video! Im glad you watched it, i love the video. I’m a Vice President history buff and I feel that the VPs deserve recognition and I hope we get more VP video related stuff on the channel
Yes, thank you! Finally! I haven't even watched any of this yet, but I'm excited! I'm sorry that I kept spamming the same comment suggesting this reaction, it's just that whenever I do that on a channel, it's usually because I don't know that the RUclipsr has seen my comment. Looking forward to this video! Edit: I should also mention today is my 14th birthday, which makes it even better that that the video I've wanted you to react to was done on my birthday! :)
My great aunt was an actress and her last film role was as the hag with a shrubbery in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was posthumous. Some years ago I had the privilege to play this part in a production of Spamalot. I had a display set up in the foyer to her.
10:15 - yes, the Amendment you’re referring to is the 27th. I believe t was originally part of the 12 that were originally proposed in 1789. Of course, 10 of those became the The Bill of Rights. What was known as the Congressional Compensation Act of 1789 wasn’t ratified until 1992. What a wild ride this Amendment took on the path to ratification. I think one or two states ratified it twice. Each time it came close to being ratified, another state joined the Union.
My dad is a professional musician, and "It's All In the Game" has been in his repertoire for decades, so I actually knew that Dawes wrote the music for it. Admittedly, that's the only thing I ever knew about him though.
Chris! i want you to get out of your "history comfort zone" a little bit and react to either 1- Flavius Belisarius's series by Epic History TV/or/ 2- History Marche's brilliant series about Hannibal Barca, you did little content about both so i think it's going to be GREAT to see you dive into them.
The 8 VPs born in New York: George Clinton Daniel D. Tompkins Martin Van Buren Millard Fillmore Schuyler Colfax (affiliated with Indiana) William A. Wheeler Theodore Roosevelt James S. Sherman The 11 VPs affiliated with New York: Aaron Burr (born in New Jersey) George Clinton Daniel D. Tompkins Martin Van Buren Millard Fillmore William A. Wheeler Chester A. Arthur (born in Vermont) Levi P. Morton (born in Vermont) Theodore Roosevelt James S. Sherman Nelson Rockefeller (born in Maine)
Hey Chris you can correct me if I’m wrong because this is definitely not my expertise, but perhaps he put in the Andrew Johnson one because to be fair he really was only vice president for like a month, but you are right that definitely was during his presidency and not vice presidency. Love all you’re videos btw, as a young Canadian you’ve really expanded my love of American and world history and I thank you for that!
On a more relevant (yet tragic) fact about Schuyler Colfax: He dies of a heart attack in a train station in Mankato, MN while changing trains. No one recognizes him, and he’s identified by the papers he carried with him. A park and plaque in Colfax’s memory now stand where the station stood.
Despite appearing to accept the Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore did not actually win the award; only director Davis Guggenheim did. Had he won, he would've become the second person to have won both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar, George Bernard Shaw was the first and Bob Dylan would later become the second.
William King was also in Cuba, I believe, because he was at least partialy the owner of a slave plantation down there. He was a big fan of annexing it for the US. (Look up Cuba: An American History, a terrific book. I might have his death story a bit garbled, but it is a great history of Cuba based on his it relates to the US).
You weren’t seeing things, I saw your name too, Chris. Although after I laughed at that, my brain immediately went to the singer Chris Motionless of the metalcore band Motionless In White 😂 (one of my favorite bands, what can I say?) Definitely an interesting video. Don’t know much about the vice presidents either, so I learned a lot. Can’t wait for more videos!
@@VloggingThroughHistory A good story I remember about him: General Pershing walked into his headquarters one day and all the officers came to attention except Dawes, who continued to sit in his chair smoking a cigar. "Charlie" Pershing said "When the Commanding General enters it is customary to move your cigar from the left side of your mouth to the right."
It was always a weird system to me that the second place became Vice President. I feel the intent was to try to encourage compromise and so that the runner up's views would still be considered, but it feels like it more ended up that the President was just shackled to someone who very much didn't agree with them or want to work with them.
Actually, the reason why that system was put in place at the time was because there were multiple candidates on the presidential ticket (there were no primaries then so it wasn't one candidate per party) rather than today where there's only ever two nominees picked by their respective political parties (two party system means only two candidates to pick from so an election wouldn't really be that fair or productive if for example Biden and Trump ran for president and both end up essentially winning positions in the executive branch; it's just a matter of who's subservient to whom). So basically you'd be voting from a selection of, like, 6 candidates for example and the idea is to have the winner be president and the runner up, being the second most popular, serve under him as clearly the people thought they would be competent (or popular) enough to serve and/or have as a back-up. You'd basically be voting for a president and his replacement / second best candidate, which makes sense when you think about it but like you said, you could end up in a situation where you have a Dem president and Rep vice-president or vice-versa
Dick Chaney changed his voter registration before running for VP. He had spent just enough time at his hunting lodge in Wyoming the year before to be eligible to vote in Wyoming. If he hadn’t changed his registration, the electoral college from Texas would not been able to vote for both members of the Republican ticket in 2000.
10:30: Yup! Twenty-Seventh Amendment! (Even though it was the first or second one proposed by Congress to the states - the Bill of Rights were the third through twelfth proposals).
Another Stevenson connection: VP Adlai Stevenson's brother, William, later had a great grandson named McLean, who played Lt Col Henry Blake on M*A*S*H.
The Rockefellers have strong connections to northeast Ohio. My high school was on land which had been Frank Rockefeller's property, for example. Look into them (and figures such as Squire) - I would bet that you would enjoy the local ties.
Hi, Chris, I hope you've now subscribed. That was interesting although a fair number of them I'd never heard of. Try to have a look at The History Chap, he does some interesting videos. I liked your idea about descendants of presidents, perhaps you could do another about Queen Victoria's descendants who married into European Royal families that were abolished. Where are their descendants now. That would be good.
You should check out the video about: battle of catalaunian plains from historymarche. Interesting video about one of the last major wars for the western roman empire
Says doesn't know much about Vic President's and precedes to give us so much more information about them haha. I also liked the common RUclips reaction when Chris popped up.
George Mifflin Dallas was actually from Philadelphia. And I like to think he was the namesake of Dallas, TX. Too coincidentally close to Texas’ statehood in the Union during Polk administration to think otherwise
I’m from the area in Kansas where the Kanza tribe used to dwell. I just learned about Hoovers VP last week. I never learned it in Kansas History in school.
This video topic reminds me of a joke I first heard in AP History back in high school 35 years ago. "There were 2 brothers. I went off to sea. The other became Vice President of the United States. Neither was ever heard from again." Edit: I put this up at the beginning of watching, not knowing its source was an American VP. :)
The channel Premodernist is a great, relatively small channel that makes fantastic videos. I'd like to see you take a look at their channel. Stuff like, "Why Africa Didn't Use the Wheel" and "Were the Ottomans Part of the Roman Empire" are fantasticly done. As a Farsi, military-linguist, I also enjoyed their video on Persian vs Farsi.
Have you ever addressed the pros and cons of the runner up becoming vice president? Every time I listen to Hamilton I wonder what impact it would have if the system still worked that way, and why it was changed.
Hey yo! You should like watch all of the Justinian miniseries thingy by Extra Credits History. Afterwards, perhaps the Suleiman the Magnificent series, as it has some connections with the Justinian one. And good day to you.
I know this is abit out of your playbook, but it's still historically based - How Every Team Got Its Name & Identity! by NFL Throwback..... Pretty cool history video of the NFL.... Go Brownies!
4:50 That's a common misreading of Article II. Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the Constitution says, "The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves." This clause is speaking about the electors, not the candidates. It means that electors can’t vote for two candidates from their own state. There is no prohibition on candidates from the same state running with each other, and the only electors who couldn’t vote for them would be the ones from the candidates' state of residence. Let’s not forget that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were both residents of Texas. Cheney got around this by changing his residence to Wyoming, thus allowing Texas electors to vote for their ticket in 2000.
Charles Fairbanks may have born in Ohio, but actually represented Indiana in the Senate. He was added to the ticket in 1904 to balance the Progressive tendencies of Theodore Roosevelt and assuage conservative Republicans. His dour demeanor earned him the monicker "the Indiana Icicle." Incidentally, he ran for vice president again in 1916, as the running mate of Charles Evans Hughes.
Reacting to lists about Vice Presidents? Now you just have to react to the myriad of new president AI voice memes and the circle will be complete. I highly recommend “Biden and the Gang” by Dalton Bantz
When he said Chris I honestly laughed so hard
Me too
Me three 😂😂😂
He was breaking the fourth wall calling you out Chris! 😂
It's kinda creepy how this guy's named Chris, and the vid called out the name "chris"
Wtf?? Lol!
14:40 When Coolidge became VP, Thomas Marshall sent him a letter asking him to "Please accept my sincere sympathies."
That "Chris" bit caught me off guard. Needed a good laugh
Creepy, but hilarious!
11:16
Adlai Stevenson I (Vice President to Grover Cleveland) is actually the Grandfather of Adlai Stevenson II (1952 and 1956 democratic Presidential nominee).
Okay the “CHRIS” has to be a top 10 moment in VTH history 😂
9:20 I was actually taking a pause while watching the movie Lincoln (2012) to watch this little VTH video, but now I feel I should go back and finish the movie first...
"This isn't usual, Mr Pendleton, this is history!" Great line!
13:06 Chris getting immediately called out hahahaha
I laughed so hard! That's so meta!
Some quotes about being V.P. from the V.P.:
-John Adams: "The most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."
-Theodore Roosevelt: "Cul de sac."
-John Nance Garner: "A bucket of warm piss," and “The worst damn fool mistake I ever made.”
-Calvin Coolidge: “I enjoyed my time as vice president. It never interfered with my mandatory 11 hours of sleep a day.”

-Sen. Daniel Webster of New Hampshire, on rejecting an offer to be future President William -Henry Harrison’s running mate in 1839: “I do not propose to be buried until I am really dead.”
These were all great quotes.
Thanks for that
Webster probably regretted that decision, he could have been president
-Dick Cheney: "hold my beer"
Calvin Coolidge is my spirit animal 🤣
13:08 That "Chris" jumpscare was the best. 😂
Lol!
I didn't see that coming!
Which makes it even more hilarious!
13:08 this was amazing. I love when stuff like this happens :D
I burst out laughing! It was very meta, tho!
you can't write this stuff 😂
VTH's face when DAT called him out is golden.
Thomas Marshall also said that "Death had to take [Theodore] Roosevelt sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight." after he died. He was the incumbent VP at the time. Ironic that he served under Woodrow Wilson, of all people.

Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller was the grandson of two of TRs most prominent opponents. John D. Rockefeller and Senator Nelson Aldrich (R-RI).
I love the idea of doing a video on descendants of US presidents!
you should do a VP tierlist. mr beat did one a while back and it was really interesting!
Got a potential interesting idea; Proposed amendments that never ended up passing
I've heard people give FDR crap for marrying his 5th cousin once removed, but they fail to realize that John Adams married his 3rd cousin.
Rutherford B. Hayes, our 19th President, would insist people call him general Hayes after his Presidency. He was a Civil War general and would say that General was the most important title he ever held.

Ok chepa
8:20
As far as i know,breckenridge also was the youngest vice president at 36 years of age
Yes he was indeed!

13:09 top-tier moment
Have you ever considered reacting to songs like We Didn’t Start The Fire or The Foggy Dew and explain the history behind the song’s lyrics?

Hey Chris you do a tier list of the all the 49 Vice Presidents like you did to the the presidents
The Garner and Rheiner thing is a textbook example of "If you can't beat them, join them".
Conjoin more like.
On a more relevant (yet tragic) fact about Schuyler Colfax:
He dies of a heart attack in a train station in Mankato, MN while changing trains. No one recognizes him, and he’s identified by the papers he carried with him. A park and plaque in Colfax’s memory now stand where the station stood.
Keep up the consistent good work VTH!

WaPo just published a piece on the guy whom Cheney shot. It was an interesting read. Would recommend.
Yeah I think that's because he died a few weeks ago
That mike pence one made me break down laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Charles Dawes was also a General in WWI and was in charge of all materiel acquisitions for the AEF.
Yeah he went from Major to Brigadier General in just over a year.

Interesting! Some of these facts about the vice presidents I knew, and some of them I didn't.
20:25 Harry Whittington actually passed away earlier this month.
4:50 That's a common misreading of Article II. Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the Constitution says, "The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves."

Interesting fact about Andrew Johnson as Vice President: He got drunk at his inauguration.

Had no idea that Harry Whittington apologized to Cheney, also Whittington passed away earlier this month.
13:10 lmao!

Kind of an observation, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but Van Buren was not only the 8th vice president but also the 8th president.
