Never mind!
Uhm, the Clintons? 
I’m impressed. I would’ve known Hamlin and Garner but not Hobart, who let’s face it was not a major historical figure. Did you memorize all the Vice Presidents?
No, but it was another Ohio 1st Lady, Ida Saxton McKinley. Her childhood home in Canton serves as the 1st Ladies Museum.
Lucy Hayes was known as “Lemonade Lucy” as she did not permit alcohol in the White House.
She and R. B. are buried on the grounds of thier Fremont, Ohio home, have toured that also.
Hayes had the disctinction of being elected President by a Commission to decide the EC vote fiasco, unlike Jefferson and Burr, the House did not decide this one.
No peeking!
Who, not by scholarly acceptance, but has made the claim, and his tombstone states it, was “President of the United States for one day”.
Hint: It was back in the days when next in line for the PREZ after the VP was the Senate Pro Tem, not the Speaker.
Ford, he was the House Minority Leader
Sorry madmonk, spoiler is incorrect.
Wait, what? I was responding to the OP question and my answer is correct.
I’ll say Achitson But I thought the Speaker was ALWAYS in line, per the Constitution?
Not sure if you were aware, but the Constitution has been slowly changing these 225 years. The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, defines presidential succession beyond the “President, then Vice President, then whatever Congress wants” as stated in Article 2, Section 1.
:rolleyes: I’m well aware of the amendment process. I thought that the order was always POTUS,VPOTUS, SoHoR.
P.S. this is what I get for reading your post (i.e. you’re on ignore)
The order of succession has changed over the years. Before a 1947 revision, it was POTUS, VPOTUS, the President pro tem of the Senate (typically the senior senator of the majority party), and then the Speaker of the House. Had Andrew Johnson been impeached and removed from office, for instance, Sen. Ben Wade, Republican of Ohio, who was PPT at the time, would’ve become President.
You might not be surprised to learn that he voted to convict Johnson.
Ignorance fought! Sorry Munch. :o
This is technically correct in that this was one of the laws in place before 1947, but it was changed late in the 1800s. Immediately before the change in 1947, the cabinet members succeeded after the VP (in order of creation of the cabinet offices). In 1947 the Speaker and President Pro Tem were inserted before the Cabinet members.
