Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution, enacted in 1967, made the Tyler Precedent an official law, establishing that the method by which John Tyler ascended to the presidency would remain the process by which the presidential ascension of future vice presidents would occur. The United States' ninth president, William Henry Harrison, was the first president to die in office. Because the U.S. Constitution did not outline how a fallen president should be replaced, Harrison's vice president, John Tyler, ascended to the presidency largely of his own accord. Despite the rancor Tyler incurred, he set a precedent that seven other vice presidents (Fillmore, A. Johnson, Arthur, T. Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman, and L. Johnson) followed when the deaths of their respective presidents led to their ascensions. The amendment has only been invoked once since its ratification: when Gerald Ford assumed the presidency following Richard M. Nixon's resignation.
