If the president was assassinated the order would be:
1.) Vice President
2.) Speaker of the House
3.) President pro tempore of the Senate
4.) Secretary of the State
5.) Secretary of the Treasury
Chester A. Arthur
In the United States, when something has happened to the president, the vice president takes over. For example, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, his vice president, Lyndon Johnson, became president.
hmmm well you didn't finish your question so I will list all presidents that were assassinated and who took over their position. After President Lincoln was assassinated Vice President Andrew Johnson took over. After President Garfield was assassinated Vice President Chester A Arther took over. After President William McKinley was assassinated Vice President Theodore Roosevelt took over. And Finally, after President John F Kennedy was assassinated Vice President Lyndon B Johnson took over. These are presidents who just died during office, they weren't assassinated. President William Henry Harrison was replaced by Vice President John Tyler. (died of pneumonia) President Zachery Taylor was replaced by Vice President Millard Fillmore. (died of food poisoning at picnic.) President Harding was replaced by Vice President Calvin Coolidge. (heart attack) President Franklin D Roosevelt was replaced by Vice President Truman. (died of cerebral hemmorage)
The speaker of the house takes over(:
The vice president
The Vice President
The vice president
Then the vice president takes over
There is no waiting period. The Vice President takes over immediately, and is sworn in as soon as a Federal Judge can be found to administer the oath. After JFK was murdered Johnson was sworn in a few hours later.
Speaker of The House
No. President Lincoln was assassinated after the Civil War was over.
If a President dies and the Vice President takes over, the new President would appoint a vice president, authorized by the 25th amendment.
