Other Useful Vice Presidential Sites

VicePresidents.com - Yup, a site dedicated entirely to the history of 46 men who have served as Vice President of the United States. Did you know that 18 of the 46 either died in office or resigned? More trivia, plus bios, pix, etc.

National Archives: US Electoral College - This site, maintained by the National Archives, is the closest thing there is to an "official" site for the Electoral College -- the folks who actually elect the President of the United States. Just remember: Al Gore won 500,000 more votes than George W. Bush in 2000 ... but Bush was elected President because he won more electoral votes (271 versus 267) than Gore.
