Wild man


On December 28, 1832, John C. Calhoun became the first person to resign as Vice President of the United States. 
Calhoun had served as Vice President under Presidents John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. He and Jackson had strong disagreements about states’ rights and nullification, leading to Calhoun deciding in 1832 to run for the Senate instead of continuing in his current office.
