After World War II, every presidential election will attract the attention of people all over the world, and everyone wants to know who the American president will spend. Most American presidents are elected. Since 1789, presidential elections have been held almost every four years. After President Lincoln, the dispute between donkey and elephant became the theme of American political life.
Most presidents in American history were elected, but some presidents were successors. Biden was 79 when he took office. Biden said more than once that the United States should be ready to welcome a female president. By female president, Biden means vice president Kamala Harris.
According to the amendment to the US Constitution, if the president is dismissed, dies or resigns, the vice president should become the president.
In American history, many presidents were vice presidents before taking office. According to the succession order of American presidents, the first is the vice president, the second is the speaker of the House of Representatives, and the fourth is the Secretary of State.
So far, no Secretary of State or Speaker of the House of Representatives has successfully become president, but many vice presidents have successfully become new presidents.
These successive presidents can become new presidents and appropriate winners in life without being elected. So who was the first president in American history to take office without running for office?
So far, there are 46 presidents in American history. The first president was George Washington. As the first president of the United States, Washington, the father of the United States, was also the first elected president.
1789, Washington was undoubtedly elected as the first president of the United States. After two terms, Washington said that it would no longer participate in the election. Since then, no American president has served more than two terms except Roosevelt.
Historically, many American presidents failed to complete their four-year terms for various reasons, such as william harrison, Lincoln, Garfield, McGinley, Harding, franklin roosevelt and Kennedy. Some of these presidents died while in office, and the vice president took over as the new president.
184 1 year, President william harrison died only one month after taking office, becoming the first American president to die in office. After the death of President william harrison, Vice President john tyler became the new president of the United States and the first successor in American history.
Because john tyler succeeded the vice president, he was unelected, and he became the first unelected American president in American history.
1974 richard milhous nixon resigned as president because of Watergate Incident, becoming the first president in American history to resign voluntarily.
After Nixon resigned, Vice President Gerald Rudolph Ford became the new president of the United States. In the next presidential election in 2024, Biden was 82 years old. If US President Biden is unable to perform his duties as president due to physical reasons, Kamala Harris can become the new president without being elected.
Readers who know about the American election know that the American election is actually a combination election. There are not only presidential candidates but also vice presidential candidates in the American general election.
During the US presidential election in 2020, the Democratic Party considered the combination of Biden and Obama, Biden and Hillary, and finally decided on the combination of Biden and Kamala Harris.
The vice president is actually the result of the general election. If we look at it from this perspective, the vice president has also experienced elections as president.
