What political party did James Madison's second Vice President belong to?
Second inauguration of James Madison The second inauguration of James Madison as President of the United States was held on Thursday, March 4, 1813, at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.. The inauguration marked the commencement of the second four-year term of James Madison as President and the only term of Elbridge Gerry as Vice President. The presidential oath was administered by Chief Justice John Marshall. Gerry died into this term, and the office remained vacant for the balance of it. (Prior to ratification of the Twenty-fifth Amendment in 1967, no constitutional provision existed for filling an intra-term vacancy in the vice presidency.)
Millard Fillmore Millard Fillmore (January 7, 1800March 8, 1874) was the 13th President of the United States (1850–53), the last to be a member of the Whig Party while in the White House. A former U.S. Representative from New York, Fillmore was elected the nation's 12th Vice President in 1848, and was elevated to the presidency by the death of Zachary Taylor. He was instrumental in getting the Compromise of 1850 passed, a bargain that led to a brief truce in the battle over slavery. He failed to win the Whig nomination for president in 1852; he gained the endorsement of the nativist Know Nothing Party four years later, and finished third in that election.
