The Quiz: Who was the only Vice President chosen by the U.S. Senate?
Daniel D. Tompkins
Richard M. Johnson

Explanation : The 12th Amendment made the Senate responsible for choosing the VP in the event of any deadlocked contests, which has only happened once. On February 8, 1837, Martin Van Buren’s running mate, Richard M. Johnson, fell one electoral vote shy of a majority among the four VP candidates. The Senate voted 33 to 16 to elect Johnson as Vice President.
Correct Answer: Richard M. Johnson
