The first Acting U.S. President was George H. W. Bush, who as U.S. Vice President became Acting President for about eight hours on 13 July 1985, while President Ronald Reagan was in surgery, according to the rules in the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
When President William Henry Harrison died on 4 April 1841 it was the first time a U.S. President had died in office. Many in government thought that Vice President John Tyler would serve as Acting President until another President could be elected, but Tyler vehemently insisted that he was fully the President, as much as any of his predecessors, going so far as to threaten to return any mail not properly addressed to him as President. What became known as Tyler's Precedent stuck until it was finally put into writing 126 years later with the ratification of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
