Secretary of State Alexander Haig supposedly told reporters that he was in charge soon after Reagan as shot, but he had no real presidential authority. Reagan was not incapacitated long enough for anyone to be made acting president . George H. W. Bush was the vice-president and would have been the one to take Reagan's place if necessary.
