The Vice-Presidential Record is even worse, by the way. The only Vice Presidents to serve out a full 8 years in office:
John Adams (1789-1797)
Daniel D. Tompkins (1817-1825)
Thomas Marshall (1913-1921)
Jack Garner (1933-1941)
Richard Nixon (1953-1961)
George Bush (1981-1989)
Al Gore (1993-2001)
Dick Cheney (2001-2009)
Which makes Gore-Cheney the first set of VPs to serve 8 consecutive years back to back.
Could Biden make it an unprecedented streak of three? We'll see.
[Other VP's were elected to a 2nd term, but didn't make it all the way through:
George Clinton, 1805-1812, died
John Calhoun, 1825-1832, resigned
Spiro Agnew, 1969-1973, resigned]
