The October 19th Chicago Tribune had an article about how vice presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin are not releasing their personal medical statements. Biden had two near-fatal brain aneurisms in 1988.
The Tribune then went on to list nine vice presidents who became president.
JOHN TYLER-- 1841--succeeded William Harrison who died of pneumonia.
MILLARD FILLMORE-- 1850-- Succeeded Zachary Taylor after his food-poisoning death.
ANDREW JOHNSON-- 1865-- succeeded Abraham Lincoln after his assassination.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR-- 1881-- succeeded James Garfield after his assassination.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT-- 1901-- succeeded William McKinley after his assassination.
CALVIN COOLIDGE-- 1923-- succeeded Warren G. Harding after his death from a stroke.
HARRY S. TRUMAN-- 1945-- succeeded Franklin D. Roosevelt after his death of a cerebral hemorrhage.
LYNDON B. JOHNSON-- 1963-- succeeded John Kennedy after his assassination.
GERALD FORD-- 1974-- succeeded Richard Nixon after his resignation.
