A sort of spiritual antithesis to an old thread on the After 1900 page. Basically, if we exclude vice presidents who became president either by vote or accident, which vice president before the Election of 1900 do you think would've made the best president on their own accord and why? And who do you think who might be a good runner up on this list? Cast your votes and state your reasoning, I'm interesting if someone saddled with the vice presidency would've been an excellent president. Note that some of these examples could have their deaths butterflied, so an early VP death isn't to be thrown against them(or they get the presidency before that can be an issue)
