	David Rice Atchison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Rice Atchison (August 11, 1807 - January 26, 1886) was a mid-19th century Democratic United States Senator from Missouri.
		While it is true that the offices of President and Vice President were vacant, Atchison in fact was not next in line.
		Therefore, while one could argue that Atchison was legally President for a few minutes (though even this much is debatable), claims that he should be considered an "official" President are absurd.

		David Rice Atchison (August 11, 1807 - January 26, 1886) was a mid-19th century pro-slavery Democratic Senator from Missouri.
		Atchison had been elected President Pro Tempore of the Senate a couple of days previously and would therefore technically be third in line of succession behind the President and Vice President.
		On March 4, Atchison's Senate term expired at noon, so he was not even technically president pro tempore.

	Atchison, a Great Frontier Depot, by Walker D. Wyman, Kansas Historical Quarterly, August, 1942
		[1] The Missouri founders of Atchison located their town on the westernmost point of that "Grand Detour." Lying between St. Joseph to the northeast and Fort Leavenworth to the southeast, this appeared to be the proper point from which to tap the resources of the West.
		Atchison must inevitably be the mart-the great entre-pot for the freight from the East and the exhaustless commerce of Kansas, New Mexico and Utah for all time.
		The ordinary assumption is that Atchison declined during the years of the Civil War, but a local paper listing incomplete figures on the commerce of 1862, showed over 4,000,000 pounds of freight shipped west, and claimed the total was twice that amount.
