George Herbert Walker Bush was the 43rd Vice President of the United States, and the first since John C. Calhoun to serve under two different Presidents. Bush was elected on the Republican ticket with President Ronald Reagan in 1980. In 1984, Elvis Presley was elected President, but had no running mate. The 270 electors who cast their vote for Presley in the Electoral College were given a free vote to choose a Vice President, and by a large margin, the Electoral College chose Bush. Bush remained as Vice President to the Independent Presley.
