Miscellaneous information about age difference between vice-presidents and their presidents:

1. Almost half of vice presidents (22 out of 46) were older than their presidents. None of the twenty-two who, later, became a president, began their presidency by election, and only Lyndon B. Johnson of them was later elected.
2. Incumbent (47th) vice president Joe Biden is also older than president Barack Obama, and he is the oldest vice-president compared to his president (18 years, 8 months, 15 days).
3. The biggest age difference between a president and a vice president was between president James Buchanan, and VP John C. Breckinridge (Breckinridge is younger by 29 years, 8 months, 29 days). This also makes Breckinridge the youngest VP compared to his president.
4. The least age difference between a president and a vice president was between president Abraham Lincoln, and VP Andrew Johnson (Johnson is older by 45 days).
