5. Elbridge Gerry: Vice Presidents with Octopuses on Their Heads

Jonathan Crow July 28, 2014

5. Elbridge Gerry

President: James Madison, 1813-14

Party: Democratic-Republican

State: Massachusetts

Slave Owner?: No

Gerry signed a bill on election redistricting that was highly favorable to his party. Rival newspapers decried the bill as “gerrymandering.” The name stuck. Like George Clinton, Gerry also died in office, making James Madison the only president to lose two vice presidents.
