I like Sessions but too old IMO. We need someone who can carry he torch after Trump’s term(s).
I said that to someone this morning and he reminded me that in all our history only four VP’s have been elected President. A few more served out a portion of the President’s term and then were re-elected,
Four sitting Vice Presidents were elected President
1. John Adams (1789-1797) was elected President in 1796.
2. Thomas Jefferson (1797-1801) was elected President in 1800.
3. Martin Van Buren (1833-1837) was elected President in 1836.
4. George H. W. Bush (1981-1989) was elected President in 1988.
One non-sitting former Vice President was elected President
* Richard Nixon was elected President in 1968. He had been Vice President to Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1961.
