William Rufus King who died of tuberculosis after 45 days in office, having never performed any official duties as Vice President. Following King's death the office of Vice-President remained vacant until 1857 when John C. Breckinridge was inaugurated.

Answer #2

In 1850 Prisident Zachary Taylor died, and Vice President Millard Filmore succeed him as president. The office of Vice President was left empty and remained so until the election in 1852, so at the begining of 1853 there was no Vice President.

In the 1852 William R. king was elected Vice President and was sworn into office on March 24, 1853. However he died on April 18, 1853 of Tuberculosis. The office of Vice President was again left unfilled until 1857 when John Breckinridge was named Vice Presidnet.

So for most of 1853 there was no Vice President, except for the 45 days in which William King held the office.
