Best Answer

It means to become the new president-- to follow in the office of president.

"succeed" is this sense means to follow after. It is the opposite of "precede" which means to go before. English is a funny language sometimes- someone who precedes is called a "predecessor" and someone who succeeds, in this sense, is called a "successor"
