When he was asked about his "term" years later, he said he was proud to say his administration suffered no major scandals.

Simiar situation, however much darker, happened in Poland in 2010.

In 2010 Lech Kaczyński, who was the President of Poland, was killed in a plane crash. The vacancy was filled by the Marshall of Sejm, and that position was held by Bronisław Komorowski. That meant, he was the acting President of Poland. It so happened, that Komorowski won the presidential election in the second round of voting on 4th of July, defeating Jarosław Kaczyński, Lech's twin brother. Unfortunately, you cannot be both President of Poland and the Marshall of Sejm, so he had to step down from his current office. He resigned on 8th of July, and because the first two positions in the hierarchy were vacated, the role of acting president was given to the Marshall of Senate. Bogdan Borusewicz held the role at the time, so he became the acting president. Few hours later at the same day, Grzegorz Schetyna was elected as Marshall of Sejm, taking over the role of the acting president from Borusewicz, and he held it until 6th of August, when Komorowski was sworn in, ending the reign of the three Acting Presidents of Poland.

And here would be an ad for anyone who is sponsoring the comment, but no one does.

More like "The US didn't have a President"

“He got through his term without tweeting”

I actually did a report on David Atchison in eighth grade because of this.

That was fun to research. A small part of Missouri is really proud of him.

New game. Try to lip sync HAI's intro and guess the sponsor

As a U.S citizen I can confirm the existence of the 3 headed Uncle Sam, and yes he switches his ideals and opinion faster than the U.S debt can pile up

IMO, you always go back to: if there was an emergency during that window, who would have acted on it. Chances are, it would've been Polk in consultation with Taylor until he could be sworn in and the hypothetical question would've been resolved later.

HAI: "Totally fact."
Also HAI: "Maybe"

- "The guy who was NOT President for a day" - would be a more apt title given your conclusion at the end of the video.

This is one of those times in history where you realize all the great leaders everyone idolizes were just people. The government is not intrinsic, it was created by humans, who are flawed and make mistakes. This is the government equivalent of "Huh, never thought about that. Whatever, it is what it is."

"And if there's one thing I know about American politics, it's that there are never double standards."

2:55 Normal office conversation:
"Hello."
"Hi!"
"Do you know the 13th US predident?"
"This guy?"
"No it's the other guy."
"No he's not..."
"Yes he is!"
"grrrumble!"
