- John Caldwell Calhoun (March 18, 1782 - March 31, 1850) was a Southern politician in the United States before the American Civil War. As a Senator from South Carolina and as Vice President of the United States under Presidents John Quincy Adams (1825-1829) and Andrew Jackson (1829-1832), he fought fiercely for the extension of slavery into new territories and other issues of interest to the South such as tariff reform. A supporter of states' rights, he also championed an idea he called Nullification, by which a state government could refuse to comply with a duly passed Federal law it found distasteful, effectively subordinating the Federal government to the states.

- John Caldwell Calhoun (March 18, 1782 - March 31, 1850) was a Southern politician in the United States before the American Civil War. As a Senator from South Carolina and as Vice President of the United States under Presidents John Quincy Adams (1825-1829) and Andrew Jackson (1829-1832), he fought fiercely for the extension of slavery into new territories and other issues of interest to the South such as tariff reform. A supporter of states' rights, he also championed an idea he called Nullification, by which a state government could refuse to comply with a duly passed Federal law it found distasteful, effectively subordinating the Federal government to the states. He is notable for being one of two US Vice Presidents to resign from office, which he did just over two months before his term expired, to fill a Senate seat. The other resigned VP is Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon's first VP. He is also the last of only two VPs to serve under two different Presidents, the first being George Clinton who served under Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
