List of VPOTUS by longevity

This is a list of United States Vice Presidents by longevity. Two measures of the longevity are given; this is to allow for the differing number of leap days occurring within the life of each Vice President. The first column is the number of days between date of birth and date of death, allowing for leap days; the second column breaks this number down into years and days, with the years being the number of whole years the Vice President lived, and the days being the remaining number of days after his last birthday. Where the person in question is still living, the longevity is calculated up to May 14, 2024.
