PRESIDENT FOR A DAY

How many Americans know that a
man named David r. Atchison was
once President Of the United States
for full day? II happened this
way: Gen. zachery Taylor, elected
President in November, l84S, was to
have been inaugurated on March 4,
1S49. AS that date fell on Sunday
and the terms Of both the preceding
President and Vice President expired
constitutionally, on March / at mid
day, it became necessary for the
president pro tenn of the Senate, who
was Senator Atchison of Missouri, to
assume the Presidency. He did so
and reigned nominally, if not de fac
to, for the ensuing twenty-four hours.
Mr.. Atchison, native of Kentucky.
was born in 1907 and died in 1883. He
was in the Senate from 1843 to 1866
and was president pro TEN, on half
a dozen occasions during that period.
