Did a Vice President ever have to take over when a President died?
Did that ever happen in history? So if a president dies the vice president takes over, but then who becomes the vice president?

Yes, several times:
Andres Johnson assumed the presidency when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
Chester Arthur took over when James Garfield died after only 6 months in office.
Calvin Coolidge took over when Warren Harding died.
Harry Truman took over when Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) died
Lyndon Johnson took over when John F Kennedy (JFK) was assassinated.
Before the ratification of the 25th amendment in 1967 there was not a process to replace the vice president. In all the above cases the office of Vice President remained vacant until the persons term ended. Now the president nominates a new vice president and that person is confirmed by a majority vote of both houses.
yes!!!!!
several times
Yes. The 9th president was William Henry Harrison and he died in office after a month or two of being elected and then Jonathan Tyler became president.
yes, when kennedy died for example, and the speaker of the house becomes vice president (technically)
Y E S ! !
The new President appoints a VP, that is then aporoved by the Congress.
When JFK died, LBJ was sworn in as President, and then he selected HHH, who was confirmed.
Abe Lincoln – assasinated
Yeah it has happened on numerous occassions. I cant remember any to be exact, but i think a vice president has become president 5 times in US history, but not all necassarily because of death.
Exactly what grade are you in where you wouldn’t know that already?
yes when kennedy died. then the guy under the vice president become vice president. everyone moves up the latter.
kennedy killed.johnson.1963………….didn’t do a bad job
Yes, when Kennedy died, and others
The Secretary of State becomes the vice president.
In the case of Nixon, Spiro Agnew resigned from Vice-President, and Gerald Ford was appointed by Nixon. Gerald Ford was the only president in modern times that nobody voted for.
Yes. This has happened several times. Most knowlingly was in 1963. Lyndon B. Johnson took over for President Kennedy.
The second question is a better question. I believe the Vice-Presidency becomes vacant and or the president appoints someone to fill it. Or, I believe, the House Speaker becomes Vice President.
One is appointed by the new president. If both the President and VP die, the Speaker of the House becomes President.
yeaaa. when kennedy died, nixon took over
yes, it has happened. When Kennedy died, Johnson became President, But i don’t think their was a VP since the term was so short.
um yeah especially when they were shot to death.
when ever a president dies in office the vice president steps in. this has happened several times in the history of the US.
yes Mckinley was assasinated, Roosevelt took over and then i think wilson took over as vice president..
of course then the vice president becomes the president but then they select the vice president
most recently, JFK. the president chooses a new vp then it’s ratified by Congress.
Yes, the latest when JFK was assinated and Lyndon Johnson took over.
Yes you had Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy both of them were assinated…. President Nixon was impeached and forgiven with amnesty by gerald ford
Harrison dies
Tyler takes over
Tayor dies
Fillmore takes over
Lincoln killed
Johnson takes over
Garfield killed
Arthur takes over
McKinley killed
Roosevelt takes over
Harding dies
Coolidge takes over
Roosevelt dies
Truman takes over
Kennedy killed
Johnson takes over
Nixon resigns
Ford takes over
when jfk got shot the vice pres. became the president
im not exactly sure who becomes the vice president but it has happened in history that the president dies and then hes replaced by the vice president…an example is president kennedy…
LBJ..took the oath on a plane after kennedy was killed..
Lyndon B. Johnson / John F. Kennedy is the most recent example.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_Johnson
when pres kennedy died vice pres ford became as acting president and there was no vice president to take that slot, we learned this in the 60s
Of course it has, there have been 3 assignations of US presidents and a few have died in office also. When the Vice President becomes president he then gets to nominate a new vice president which the Senate then has to approve. The last time that happened was when Nixon resigned and Ford took over, he nominated Nelson Rockefeller who was then confirmed by the Senate.
Five times. The last time was when John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963., V.P. was Lyndon B. Johnson and he took over as prez. The speaker of the house of representatives then becomes V.P.
i think it was Lyndon B. Johnson when Kennedy was assassinated.
After every succesful assasination, which means not in recent history, Lincoln and Kennedy are the only examples that spring to mind. There is no set way to refill the posistion of vice-president, most cases, the new presisent finished the term without a VP, or promoted a political ally to the spot.
No offense, but this really makes me worried about the state of our educational system. What are our teachers teaching? On a side note, too many people are using the internet for questions that really should be looked up in a library. Wiki and yahoo Answers isn’t where we should be looking for homework help.
Yes, Lyndon Johndon became pres when Kennedy was killed and I believe the new vice pres will be the current sec. of state. Could you imagine, Cheney and Rice? Very scary!
yes, and the new vice pres becomes the funniest comedian on tv. DAVE CHAPPELE!
Yes, the ones that come to mind are JFK and vice pres. Lyndon Johnston became pres. after JFKs assassinaation. Abe Lincoln after he was assassinated but I can’t recall the vice pres. who stepped in there. I think the new pres appoints his new V. P.
Don’t you go to school? When President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, VP Lyndon Johnson became president. The speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the VP as I recall.
When Tricky Dick Nixon resigned, VP Gerald Ford became president.
Yes, a few times. Two Johnsons took office after the deaths of Lincoln and Kennedy, ironically 100 years apart. Truman became president after the death of Franklin Roosevelt. I believe there are two or three more. The next in line, after the vice president is, I believe the speaker of the house of representatives.
Abe Lincoln died and was succeeded by his VP JFK died and was replaced by his VP these are the 2 that come to mind I know on e President died of natural causes but I have forgotten his name.
Yes. The first occurrence of this happening occurred in 1841 when William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia. John Tyler took over for Harrison after his death.
well when they die the vice presedent takes over than they try to find some one almost as much experince as them or however u say it
A president has died in office a number of times. I think it is something like 5 times. The 2 most notable though are Andrew Johnson who took over when Abe Lincoln was killed and Lyndon Johnson who took over when John F Kennedy was killed.
After the VP is sworn into the presidency I don’t think that another VP is named, I think that they just go on without a VP until the next election but I could be wrong. Remember the main day to day duty of the VP is simply to preside over the Senate but he can temporarily hand this duty over to others. The VP also casts a deciding vote in the senate if the senate is deadlocked voting exactly evenly on an issue. So I don’t think that there is much that the VP needs to do as compared to the president.
Yes I can think of three. Lincoln,Buchanan,Kennedy. Also i feel that it is the speaker of the house that takes over vice presidency.
yes,
willian harrison
zachary taylor
abe lincoln
james garfield
william mckinley
franklin roosevelt
john kennedy
the speaker of the house becomes the vice-president
Nixon temporarly assumed Presidency when Eisenhower suffered health problems in 1955 & in ’56 & ’57.
John Tyler took over when William Henry Harrison died in 1841.
President Kennedy was assassinated in November 22, 1963 and whoever his VP was took over.
Temporarily, Reagan, Bush & Eisenhower’s Vice Pres took responsibility of president while the Presidents underwent surgery.
There were probably others.
William Henry Harrison died and John Tyler took over
Zachary Taylor died and Millard Fillmore took over
Abraham Lincoln died and Andrew Johnson took over
James Garfield died and Chester Arthur took over
William McKinley died and Theodore Roosevelt took over
Warren Harding died and Calvin Coolidge took over
Franklin Roosevelt died and Harry Truman took over
John Kennedy died and Lyndon Johnson took over
That about does it. I hope it helped.
Yes, quite a few..here’s the list I scared up:
John Tyler – he was William Henry Harrison’s VP. Harrison died of pneumonia. (Tippecanoe and Tyler too! was their campaign slogan)
Milliard Filmore – VP fr Zachary Taylor. Taylor died of cholera or gastrointeritis
Andrew Johnson – VP for Abraham Lincoln – Lincoln died of ‘lead poisoning’ you might say
Chester Arthur – VP for James Garfield who was assinated
Theodore Roosevelt – VP for William McKinley who was assinated
Calvin Coolidge – VP for Warren Harding died of a stroke
Harry Truman – VP for Franklin Roosevelt who died of a brain hemorage
Lyndon Johnson – VP for John Kennedy who was assinated
Gerald Ford – VP for Nixon who resigned. Nixon’s original VP was Spiro Agnew who resigned when charged w/ tax evasion.
If the VP becomes President, then the Speak of the House of Representatives becomes the VP.
