On inauguration day, at the moment when the new President of the United States is sworn in, when the previous President's vice president is still vice President because the incoming vice president hasn't taken the oath of office yet, what happens if the President suddenly dies? Does, the previous President's Vice President become acting President? |

Hello jeraboo, Someone must have anticipated this problem, because in fact the new Vice President is sworn in *before* the new President. See, for example: "Vice President's Swearing-in Ceremony" Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies http://inaugural.senate.gov/history/daysevents/vpswearingin.htm I believe that this answers your question. Please let me know if you need any clarification. - justaskscott Search strategy -- Searched on Google for: president "vice president" inauguration "oath of office" |
