| Gerald Ford was the ninth vice-president in U.S. history to replace a president in mid-term. All the previous cases--John Tyler for William Henry Harrison, Millard Fillmore for Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson for Abraham Lincoln, Chester A. Arthur for James A. Garfield, Theodore Roosevelt for William McKinley, Calvin Coolidge for Warren G. Harding, Harry S. Truman for Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson for John F. Kennedy--occurred when the president died in office. |
