Heights of vice presidents of the United States

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Like U.S. Presidents, some attention has been given to the heights of Vice Presidents, and evaluating what role, if any, it played in elections. However, unlike the presidents, the heights of many U.S. Vice Presidents have not been recorded, or are not public knowledge.

Lyndon B Johnson was the tallest recorded U.S. vice president, at a height of 6 feet, 3.5 inches. The current U.S. vice president, Kamala Harris, is the shortest, standing at 5 feet, 2 inches.
