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.)
United States elections, 1816 The 1816 United States elections elected the members of the 15th United States Congress. Mississippi and Illinois were admitted as states during the 15th Congress. The election took place during the First Party System. The Democratic-Republican Party controlled the Presidency and both houses of Congress, while the Federalist Party provided only limited opposition. The election marked the start of the Era of Good Feelings, as the Federalist Party became nearly irrelevant in national politics after the War of 1812 and the Hartford Convention.
