George Clinton was elected as the 4th US Vice President. He was the running mate of re-elected President Thomas Jefferson, replacing incumbent Vice President Aaron Burr, who suffered politically after killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel.

*This was the first US Presidential election where the President and Vice President were elected in separate ballots, pursuant to the 12th Amendment (June 15, 1804).

John Adams became the first Vice President in 1789.

The US Presidential election in 1788 actually carried over until January 10, 1789. The new US Constitution had been ratified on September 17, 1787, but electors were only appointed for 10 states. George Washington was the overwhelming favorite for President, with each of the 69 electors casting one vote for him. Under the original plan of the Constitution, each elector cast two votes, and the candidate with the second largest number of electoral votes became Vice President. John Adams received only 34 of these votes.
