According to this site, six women have sought the GOP or Democrat nominations since 1964, but none have succeeded. They are Margaret Chase Smith (Rep), Shirley Chisholm, Patsy Mink, Bella Abzug (all Dem), Elizabeth Dole (Rep), and Carol Moseley Braun (Dem). Victoria Woodhull and Belva Ann Lockwood ran as fringe candidates in the 19th century, before women could actually vote.

Martha Dandridge Custis Washington (June 2, 1731 – May 22, 1802) was the wife of George Washington, the first president of the United States, and therefore is seen as the first First Lady of the United States (although that title was not coined until after her death; she was simply known as "Lady Washington").

No. There is no equivalent to "First Lady" for the wife of the vice president. She is Mrs. Cheney.

Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (born July 14, 1913) was the 40th (1973–1974) Vice President and the 38th (1974–1977) President of the United States. He was the nation's first President who was elected to neither the Presidency nor Vice Presidency. Instead, following the resignation of Spiro Agnew in 1973, he was appointed as Vice President by Richard Nixon following confirmation by Congress, and when Nixon later resigned, on August 9, 1974, Ford assumed the Presidency. Along with his own Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller, he is one of only two people to have been appointed Vice President rather than elected.

Wow a capable, intelligent female who has make a great Senator. You think she's intimidated some people? Strong females always have dislike directed at them. Usually by males and females who couldn't do the job she does. People said the same about Clare Booth Luce, Eleanor Roosevelt etc. A shame isn't it???

They are usually appointed by the govenor\n\nSection. 3.\n\nThe Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.\n\nImmediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.\n\nThe above was the old way and is part of the Constitution. It was later addressed again under amendment!\n\nAMENDMENT XVII \nPassed by Congress May 13, 1912. Ratified April 8, 1913.\n\nNote: Article I, section 3, of the Constitution was modified by the 17th amendment.\n\nThe Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.\n\nWhen vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.\n\nIt is still usually the governor who appoints the replacement!
