### GETS LIST AND SEPARATES PRESIDENTS FROM VPs
p_td = p.find_all('td')
pres = []
vp = []
for tag in p_td:
    try:
        int(tag.get_text()[0])
        pres.append(tag.get_text())
    except (ValueError):
        vp.append(tag.get_text())
        
### RETRIEVES LIST OF P AND VP BY PARTY
party = p2.find_all('div',{'class':"col-xs-3"})

### RETURNS LIST OF PRESIDENTS AND VPs BY PARTY
for i in range(len(party)):
    if i == 0:
        rep = party[i].get_text().split('\n')
    elif i == 1:
        dem = party[i].get_text().split('\n')
    elif i == 2:
        other = party[i].get_text().split('\n')
    else:
        etc = party[i].get_text().split('\n')
