Whenever the office of President of the United States becomes vacant due to "removal ...death or resignation" of the chief executive, the Constitution provides that "the Vice President shallbecome President." When the office of Vice President becomes vacant for any reason, the Presidentnominates a successor, who must be confirmed by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. Ifboth of these offices are vacant simultaneously, then, under the Succession Act of 1947, the Speakerof the House of Representatives becomes President, after resigning from the House and as Speaker. If the speakership is also vacant, then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate becomes President,after resigning from the Senate and as President Pro Tempore. If both of these offices are vacant,or if the incumbents fail to qualify for any reason, then cabinet officers are eligible to succeed, in theorder established by law (3 U.S.C. §19, see Table 3). In every case, a potential successor must beduly sworn in his or her previous office, and must meet other constitutional requirements for thepresidency, i.e., be at least 35 years of age, a "natural born citizen," and for 14 years, a "residentwithin the United States." Succession-related provisions are derived from the Constitution, statutorylaw, and political precedents of the past two centuries. Since 1789, Vice Presidents have succeededon nine occasions, eight times due to the death of the incumbent, and once due to resignation (seeTable 1). The vice presidency has become vacant on 18 occasions since 1789. Nine of theseoccurred when the Vice President succeeded to the presidency; seven resulted from the death of theincumbent; and two were due to resignation (see Table 2).

Under the act (61 Stat. 380, 3 U.S.C.§19), if both the presidency and vice presidency arevacant, the Speaker succeeds (after resigning the speakership and his House seat).(10) If there is no Speaker, orif he does not qualify, the President Pro Tempore succeeds, under the same requirements. If thereis neither a Speaker nor President Pro Tempore, or if neither qualifies, then cabinet officers succeed,under the same conditions as applied in the 1886 act (see Table 3 for departmental order in the lineof succession). Any cabinet officer acting as President under the act may, however, be supplantedby a "qualified and prior-entitled individual" at any time.(11) This means that if a cabinet officer is serving due to lack ofqualification, disability, or vacancy in the office of Speaker or President Pro Tempore, and, further,if a properly qualified Speaker or President Pro Tempore is elected, then they may assume the actingpresidency, supplanting the cabinet officer. The Presidential Succession Act of 1947 has beenregularly amended to incorporate new cabinet-level departments into the line of succession, andremains currently in force.

This point was raised in congressional debate over both the Succession Act of 1792 and that of 1947. In the former case, opinion appears to have been divided: James Madison (arguably the single mostformative influence on the Constitution, and a serving Representative when the 1792 act wasdebated) held that officers of Congress were not eligible to succeed. Other Representatives who hadalso served as delegates to the Constitutional Convention were convinced to the contrary.(18) In addition, political issuesalso contributed to the debate in 1792. Fordham University Law School Dean John D. Feerick,writing in From Failing Hands: The Story of Presidential Succession, noted that theFederalist-dominated Senate insisted on inclusion of the President Pro Tempore and the Speaker, andexcluded the Secretary of State, largely because of its distrust of Thomas Jefferson, who wasSecretary of State and leader of the Anti-Federalists, a group that later emerged as the JeffersonianRepublican, or Democratic Republican, Party.(19)

Conversely, it can be noted that the Speaker, particularly, has extensive executive duties, bothas presiding officer of the House, and as de facto head of the extensive structure of committees, staff,and physical installations that comprise the larger entity of the House of Representatives. Moreover,it can be argued that the speakership has often been held by men of great judgment and ability, e.g.,Sam Rayburn, Nicholas Longworth, Joseph Cannon, and Thomas Reed.

Between Nomination and Election. This first contingency would occur ifthere were a vacancy in a major party ticket before the presidential election. This possibility hasbeen traditionally covered by political party rules, with both the Democrats and Republicansproviding for replacement by their national committees.(33) For example, in 1972, the Democratic Party filled a vacancywhen vice presidential nominee Senator Thomas Eagleton resigned at the end of July, and theDemocratic National Committee met on August 8 of that year to nominate R. Sargent Shriver as thenew vice presidential candidate.

60. (back) Prior to ratification of the 25thAmendment, the vice presidency was vacant on 16 occasions. Eight resulted when the Vice Presidentsucceeded to the presidency (see Table 1). Seven resulted from the Vice President's death: George Clinton(Democratic Republican -- DR), 1812; Elbridge Gerry (DR), 1814; William R. King (D), 1853; HenryWilson (R), 1875; Thomas A. Hendricks (D), 1885; Garret A. Hobart (R) 1899; and James S. Sherman (R),1912. One Vice President resigned: John C. Calhoun (D), in 1832.

However, the old lady still communed with herself. She could see that the transaction would be to her advantage, yet it was one of such a novel and unprecedented nature that she was beginning to fear lest this purchaser of souls intended to cheat her. Certainly he had come from God only knew where, and at the dead of night, too!

Mavra departed, and Plushkin, seating himself, and taking up a pen, sat turning the sheet of paper over and over, as though in doubt whether to tear from it yet another morsel. At length he came to the conclusion that it was impossible to do so, and therefore, dipping the pen into the mixture of mouldy fluid and dead flies which the ink bottle contained, started to indite the letter in characters as bold as the notes of a music score, while momentarily checking the speed of his hand, lest it should meander too much over the paper, and crawling from line to line as though he regretted that there was so little vacant space left on the sheet.

Convulsively sobbing with a grief which he could not repress, Chichikov sank upon a chair, tore from his shoulders the last ragged, trailing remnants of his frockcoat, and hurled them from him. Then, thrusting his fingers into the hair which he had once been so careful to preserve, he pulled it out by handfuls at a time, as though he hoped through physical pain to deaden the mental agony which he was suffering.

(A) Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) of the large MAF transcription factors Mafa, Mafb, c-Maf and Nrl in various mouse tissues. Total RNA isolated from mouse testis, pancreas, spleen, kidney, and eye was used for RT-PCR analysis as described in the Materials and Methods section. RT-PCR of Hprt was carried out as a positive control. NTC was a non-template control. The RT-PCR analysis shown is representative of two independent experiments. (B) Detection of MAFB expression at Sertoli and germ cells in adult mouse testes. Testicular cells obtained from WT (upper panel) or Mafb-GFP knock-in mice (lower panel) were analyzed by FACS. Propidium iodide (PI)-negative cells (R1) were selected for flow sorting, while PI-positive dead cells were removed. The R1 fractions from WT or Mafb-GFP knock-in testicular cells were classified into two fractions, R2 representing germ cells and R3 representing Sertoli cells. GFP-positive cells are represented by the R4 fraction. The proportion of each fraction is shown above the bar.

Samhain is observed from sunset on October 31st to sunset on November 1st. It is the celebration that is the origin of Halloween. Samhain was first observed by Celtic Pagans. Samhain marked the Celtic New Year, the end of summer, and the end of the harvest season. It also signaled the beginning of winter, which they associated with death. On this day, the Celts believed the veil between the living and the dead was especially thin. This allowed spirits of the dead to visit the living.

There are many parts to the altars Wiccans build. To symbolize the end of the harvest, they include apples, pumpkins, or other fall crops. To represent the spirits of the dead, skulls or skeletons are placed on the altar. Photos of deceased family members are also added. Some Wiccans bake loaves of special Samhain bread for the altar, to feed visiting spirits.
