One-Day President David Rice Atchison Legend
The article recounts that on Sunday March 4 1849 David Rice Atchison as President of the Senate briefly held the U S presidency for a day when inauguration laws prevented a ceremony. Polk left office at midnight on the 3rd and Taylor was sworn in March 5 after a Sunday inauguration. Atchison later joined the Confederate Army and died in 1886. A Missouri statue honors him for this unique tenure.
