Garfield's assassination prompted what law?
The Presidential Succession Act of 1886. The previous Act (1792) vested the succession in the President Pro-Tem of the Senate, followed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. However, at the time of Garfield's death, both offices were vacant, so that, had anything happened to Vice-President Chester Arthur, there would have been no lawful President. This led to a change in the law, vesting the succession in the Secretary of State, followed by the other Cabinet officers in the order that their departments were created. The 1886 law remained in effect until 1947, when it was amended to leave the Cabinet officers still in line of succession, but only after the Speaker and President Pro-Tem.
