Why was David Rice Atchison only president for one day?
Oh, dude, David Rice Atchison was technically president for a day because Zachary Taylor's term ended on a Sunday, and incoming President Millard Fillmore refused to take the oath on a Sunday. So, Atchison, as President Pro Tempore of the Senate, was next in line. But let's be real, it was more of a technicality than anything else. Like, one day in the Oval Office doesn't exactly make you a historical heavyweight.

Who was the president with the shortest term of office?
William Henry Harrison Harrison served as president for 32 days. Though technically David Rice Atchison was president for a day. The Constitution says, in the absence of a president or Vice-president, the congress can name a substitute. James Polk ended his term on March 4, 1849 and his successor, Zachary Taylor, did not take the oath until March 5. The vice- president had resigned as president of the senate the previous Friday 3 March and Aitchison was elected by the senate to take his place pro tempore. As president of the senate throughout the weekend he was therefore the legal president until Taylor was sworn in.
Who would become the president if Condoleezza Rice died if she was the president?
If she were already President, then her Vice President would become president. If you are asking who is next in the line of succession following the Secretary of State, see below: Following the normal line of succession (adopted by Congress in 1947) and assuming that the office positions were vacated due to death during a current presidential term, the succession to the oval office would be: # President # Vice President # Speaker of the House # President Pro-Tempore of the Senate # Secretary of State # Secretary of the Treasury # Secretary of Defense # Attorney General If the line of succession indeed got to the Secretary of State, and that person became incapacitated and could no longer serve as President, then the next inline would be the Secretary of the Treasury - assuming that a Vice President had not yet been appointed. If a new VP had been appointed, then the VP would become President. See the link below for the current list for the office terms of 2004 - 2008:
