Bush. Cheney served two terms as vice president under Bush from 2001 to 2009. Cheney had a slew of health issues, including multiple heart attacks. He suffered his first one at 37 years old in 1978 and then four more in 1984, 1988, 2000 and 2010. He underwent a heart transplant in 2012 at age 74. "Although the former vice president and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift," Cheney's office said in a March 2012 statement.

Following the transplant, Cheney said he woke up each morning "with a smile on my face, thankful for the gift of another day." Cheney, who also wrote a book about the ordeal, said he was lucky to be alive. "It's the gift of life itself... After you've been through all of the procedures and so forth and then anticipating death and finding your life has been extended that it's miraculous... You have a sense that after you've been through all of that, everything else is small. You don't sweat the small stuff... A friend of mine asked me when I told him it was a spiritual experience: "Does that mean now, that you're a Democrat?" I told him, "Well, not that spiritual," he said in 2014.
