Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c Reflects the president's political party at the start of their presidency. Changes during their time in office are noted. Also reflects the vice president's political party unless otherwise noted beside the individual's name.
- ^ Stephens had been elected Provisional Vice President by the Provisional Confederate Congress on February 11, 1861, a week prior to Davis' election and appointment as Provisional President.[6]
- ^ Presidents are numbered according to periods served by person, as opposed to term. Upon the resignation of 18th president, Strom Thurmond, Albert Gore became the 19th president even though he simply served out the remainder of Thurmond's term and was never elected to the presidency in his own right. A vice president who temporarily becomes acting president under the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution is not counted, because the president remains in office during such a period.
