Well... Even though I think this was just posted by another uber-lib trying to take any crack at the administration that they can....\n\nWe know of at least 2 besides this recent accidental "shooting"... Aaron Burr, VP to Jefferson (The famous duel between Burr and Hamilton)... and Teddy Roosevelt (Not during his time as VP, but during his service time in military units)\n\nhard to get information on many of the older VP's on something like this. But we can probably assume more since the times in the earlier parts of US history had more people carrying around weaponry in places like the west. As well as others who may have served during the American Revolution etc....

George Washington - founding father who fought and won against the British\n\nAbraham Lincoln - reluctantly freed many slaves\n\nFranklin Delano Roosevelt - mostly for his work during the Great Depression ("New Deal", Welfare State), but also for his WWII successes, and the initiation of the Manhattan Project\n\nGeorge W. Bush - worst president to date, no clue as to what the legacy he will leave our children in decades to come will be, taken US international name to new low standards, created the largest deficit in US history, president who took the most vacation while in office (and he's not done yet), started an illegal war in Iraq, broken many laws, no respect for the Constitution, etc. I could go on but I don't really need to...

He did not so much abuse presidential power as he expanded it. \n\nHe convinced Congress to suspend Habeus Corpus. \n\nNothing in the Constitution prior to the Civil War suggested that states could not secede, but Mr. Lincoln forged an amendment in blood over the issue.

Lichtenstein.\n\nNo, only kidding. It's the United States. The country hasn't been so polarized since 1855. If there isn't another civil war in the US before the end of the century I'll be very surprised.
