Acting President of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tyler made it clear that he was the President rather than the Vice President acting as such, and that precedent prevailed until ratification of the 25th amendment in 1967. Vice President Richard Cheney,was the second person to become 'Acting President' under the provision of the 25th amendment on June 29, 2002. Acting President of the United States is a temporary office in the government of the United States, established under the auspices of the Constitution of the United States, particularly its 25th Amendment (ratified in 1967). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Acting_President_of_the_United_States   (3726 words)

CONSTITUTIONAL VICES Meanwhile, to discourage states from gaming the system by wasting their second (out-of-state) vote-thereby cycling back to a fractured world of favorite sons-the Framers created an office called the Vice Presidency and provided that this office would go to the runner-up in the Presidential race. The very idea of a Vice Presidency was dreamed up in the closing days of the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, and its chief value was as one cog in an intricate electoral college contraption regulating presidential elections. Compounding the problem, if the Vice President ever were to be disabled (or if the Vice Presidency were at any point vacant) the Twenty-Fifth Amendment's elaborate machinery for determining Presidential disability will seize up; much of the key decision-making under this Amendment pivots on determinations that must be personally made by the Vice President. www.freerepublic.com /focus/news/722727/posts   (1846 words)

President Strom Thurmond? According to the U.S. Constitution, all that's required is for the election to be deadlocked, the House and Senate to fail to elect a President and Vice-President, and the Speaker of the House decline to serve as President. All that is necessary is for the candidates for President and Vice President to have a majority of electoral votes from the number of electoral votes actually cast. By the 12th Amendment, the election for President would be thrown into the House of Representatives and the election for Vice President into the Senate. planttel.net /~kevinc/hollow/thurmond.htm   (988 words)

The Vice-Presidential Debate: Dick Cheney's House of Lies -- A BuzzFlash Editorial But let's face it, tonight's debate pitted the Democratic vice-presidential candidate against the Republican Vice-President, who is really the acting President of the United States. Which brings us back to the debate in which the main revelation was that the so-called Vice President of the United States proved, through his fairly coherent and brazen lies, that the titular President, Bush, is a complete nincompoop. What you have is an Executive Branch with Cheney as the de facto President and Karl Rove as his chief aide for Domestic Affairs (Rove also holds the key office of Minister of Propaganda). www.buzzflash.com /editorial/04/10/edi04071.html   (550 words)

Acting President - dKosopedia According to the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, the Vice President becomes the Acting President when the President is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office". The concept of Acting President in the case of Presidential incapacitation is distinct from Presidential succession, in which case the Vice President actually becomes President following the President's death, resignation, or removal from office. In the former case, the transfer is usually only temporary, until such time as the President resumes power; this is typically done, for instance, when the President will be undergoing surgery. www.dkosopedia.com /index.php/Acting_President   (129 words)

Acting Vice President, Part I The Vice Presidency was vacant ten (or eleven, depending on your definition) times between 1789 and 1886, due to the death of the Vice President or the elevation of the elected Vice President to the Presidency upon the death of the President. So, according to the Presidential Succession Act of 1792, when there was no Vice President, either because the Vice President had died or resigned or moved up to the Presidency, the President Pro Tem was next in line to be President. The Constitution also creates the position of President Pro Tempore of the Senate, to be elected by the senators, to preside over the Senate in the absence of the Vice President of the United States. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/presidents_and_first_ladies/116788   (475 words)
