What terms are suitable to express the takeover of a Vice President in the event of the death of a sitting President

Other than ‘take over as President’ what other words or phrases are appropriate?

Sorry my post should have read in the event of the death of a sitting President

“Began their term as the Xth President of the United States.”

Fixed.

“Succeeded to the Presidency”?

Assumed the office of President.

The Vice President’s accession to the Presidency.

Thanks engineer_comp_geek. That just about covers most of the terms.
