Aaron Burr is the only US vice president or president to have killed someone while in office.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Aaron Burr is the only US vice president or president to have killed someone while in office?

Unclear. Several reference items confirm that Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in an 1804 duel while serving as vice president, and one notes his prosecution for murder in that office. None of the retrieved items addresses whether any other US president or vice president has killed someone while in office, so the uniqueness half of the claim is not covered.
