Dick Cheney using his position as acting president to write an official letter to his grandkids is surprisingly sweet. I would have expected something a little more sinister.
I always knew if Dick Cheney became President he'd screw us up. I blame him and his cumulative 5 hours as President for all of our problems
Weird Al Spank a Bitch me too
I love Weird Al’s music.
Dick Cheney was pulling the strings for 8 years, not 5 hours.
bro have u listened to white and nerdy? its good
@@dotcomstyle exactly. bush was just the “president.”
In Brazil once it actually happened that we had 3 different presidents in the same day in 2016. The day Dilma Rousseff, the president at the time, was impeached from office, her vice president Michel Temer automatically became the official president but Temer had a flight booked to China that same day so when the plane left the Brazilian territory, the Leader of Congress Rodrigo Maia became the effectively acting president because we have a constitutional provision that makes the Leader the president pro temporare when the official president is abroad. Crazy times lol
But when does Aecio assume?
+J.J. McCullough Brazil's presidential history is quite exciting.
There was this time in 1954 when President Getúlio Vargas committed suicide. Vice-President João Café Filho assumed the office and had a heart attack a year later. The Speaker of the House Carlos Luz was sworn in as Acting President, but he was found to be part of this great political-military conspiracy to bring down democracy. He was impeached in his third day as president.
Meanwhile, Café Filho recovered his health and wanted to get back into office. Segments of the Army that were loyal to democracy questioned him, fearing he might also be part of the conspiracy. As he was unaware of all the political drama that was happening while he was hospitalized, he was not very happy with all those questions and refuse to make any political promises to the military. On the next day, the Army put him under house arrest and Congress impeached its second President that week.
The President pro tempore of the Senate Nereu Ramos assumed as President for remaining of the Varga's term.
Brazilian history indeed has some interesting facts on this matter. Google for Ranieri Mazzilli, he was interim president for two times during the various XX century coup attempts.

Mexico had 3 presidents in a hour
Take note, Kamala Harris became president yesterday for 85 mins when Biden was going through a colonoscopy.
Imagine being the doctor that has to look at the butthole of the most powerful man in the world. What an honor
This video is 4 years old
No, she didn’t. She briefly had the powers of the president, but wasn’t president herself
@@Groggle7141 she was acting president.
@@Groggle7141 Ok, then that's what I meant then.
There were about 3 presidents of mexico in a single hour
PRINCE KRAZIE finally another person to know about that
@@william_aviation0145 I celebrate February 19 as Pedro Lascrain Day. (My father was born 4 days later, so easy for me to remember.)
When did this happen
@@allahstan4171 Lascurain was president for about 45 minutes or less on February 19, 1913, to satisfy a technicality enabling Victoriano Huerta to "legally" assume the office of President.
And St.Louis, Missouri was part of Spain then France then America in 24 hours.
"Who was the shortest serving president?" Me, instantly: "James Madison was 5 foot 4"
That _does_ answer the question, in another interpretation!
The Prime Minister of Sierra Leone, Siaka Stevens, served for 30 minutes. He was sworn in on March 21st 1967 at the Governor-General’s Mansion but just a few minutes after reciting his oath of office rebels broke into the office and arrested him.
...aand I was gonna say that too. Beat again!
And he's also the longest serving leader of the country.
Not a president, but you should do a video on Emperor Joshua Norton of the United States aka a crazy guy who declared himself Emperor and everyone in San Francisco (where he lived) just kinda went along with it.
Us micronationalists do not call him crazy.
David Lev he made it
David Lev Did you watch Sam O'Nella's video too?
When was this? Because this does not sound like the Soviet State of California.
SRAt, the nineteenth century.
In Poland we had a king who served for half a year. His name was Henryk Walezy and he was a brother of the French king at the time. And as soon as he got the news that his brother died and that he is now king of France he literally escaped the country without telling anyone. There is a legend that some guy saw him and started chasing him. But Henryk burnt down a bridge so that this guy couldn’t catch him.
He left for France for his coronation but never intended to give the Polish-Lithuanian throne. But the Sejm gave him a deadline and if he failed to return following that deadline he would lose the Polish-Lithuanian throne which he did. But he was allowed to keep the title despite not being their sovereign anymore.
Shorter reign in Poland was Jew Saul Wahl.
@@vvmax4375 It is a myth. He was a historical figure but never a king of the commonwealth, even for a second.
"You'll never take me alive! I got too many baguettes at stake" *proceeds to take 15 second to light a match*
He had to become king Henri III of France, when his brother Charles IX died.
1:03 They actually wrote the US constitution at the convention in 1787 and it just went into effect in 1789.
True! Just what I was thinking!
Luis Filipe was the king of Portugal in 1908 for 30 minutes.
Rabadons DeathCap are you portuguese ?
I was to mention that one, because it happened on 1st February 1908 and it was Regencide, the King got shot, and then the first in line then subsequently got shot.
And wikipedia, says Twenty minutes.
damn it I was JUST gonna say dat...
could you umm check us out for amazing videos as such
englishtwister Portugal should be monarchy again
Pedro Lascuráin served as the 34th president of Mexico for less than one hour on February 19, 1913.
:O
Yep, even shorter than Diosdado Cabello, which served for one day, as well, as the president of Venezuela. From 13-14th of April in 2002
He was actually a kind of "transition" president for México, during our Revolution. He served right before Huerta, and was in office for 45 minutes.
P.D. fun fact, that guy Huerta, who replaced Lascuráin was the inspiration for the modern lyrics of the song "la cucaracha"
Pedro Lascuarín was the Secretary of Foreing Affairs in President Francisco Madero's Cabinet, According to te Mexican Constitution a the time (the reformed Constitution of 1857) when the president renouced then the vicepresident would become president, but if there were no Vicepresident then the Secretary of F. A. Would become the new provisional president, and actually three years beflre that same situation occured, when the Dictator General Porfirio Diaz was overthrow from the presidency, his Vicepresident Ramón Corral renounced too, so Diaz Secretary of F.A. Francisco León de la Barra became president, then he made a Convocation for special elections in wich Madero won the presidency and a man called Abraham González the vicepresidency, then González renounced the vicepresidency to became Governor of the state of Chihuahua and Madero proposed to the senate the nomination of José María Pino Suarez as his VP, but remember that old president Diaz, well the military actually enjoyed a lot of his regime, and there were some struggles between Madero's policies and the rich military classes, so with the aid of President Taft's ambassador Henry Lane Wilson made a coup de etat, in ten days the capital pf Mexico became a bloodbath, the military planed to deposed Madero and installed to General Bernanrdo Reyes as President, to call new elections to wich former president Diaz Nephew Felix Diaz could compete, and the rebel forces were commanded by the generals Manuel mondragon and Aureliano blanquet, the planned failed, Reyes was killed in a calvary charge against the palacio, and Madero called to the capital to a retkred generañ to ajd him, Victoriano Huerta, but Huerta betrayed him, and allied himself with the other generals, then made madero and pino suarez renounce, then Lascuarin was sworn president and his only act as ñresident was to made Huerta his Secretary of Foreing Affairs, and the he renounced, the formallities took 45 minjtes, thus he was the shortest term president ever, four years later the new congress supresed the rules of presidential seccesion and even eliminated the post of vicepresident
45 minutes to be precise. Greetings from Mexico City
In Ireland, because the President is a mainly ceremonial head of state, there is no Vice-President, but whenever there is a vacancy in the Presidency, the Irish Constitution provides for a body called the 'Presidential Commission', which acts as a sort of co-acting president. It is made up of the Ceann Comhairle (the speaker of the Dáil, i.e. the lower house), the Cathaoirleach (speaker of the Seanad, i.e. the senate) and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
There have been a few times that the Presidential Commission has been needed between the time that the Presidency falls vacant and the time when a new President is elected and sworn in (such as whenever a President dies or resigns), or whenever the President is out of the country on a State Visit, but the funniest thing I think about it is the fact that, due to a quirk in the wording of the Constitution, the outgoing President's term ends at midnight but their successor's term doesn't start until they're sworn in at midday, even in cases where the President is being inaugurated after being re-elected to a 2nd consecutive term!
TL;DR, in Ireland, due to a quirk in the wording used in the Constitution, for 12 hours on inauguration day, the speakers of the 2 houses of the parliament and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court serve as joint-acting President until the new President is sworn in, even when a President has been re-elected to a 2nd consecutive term.
Matthew McCallion.I live in Ireland.GO IRELAND
the pug awsome gamer Mise freisin! Me too! :D Woo!
... well, the North, but still! Éire abú!
That is genuinely great 😂😂😂
Another fact, maybe not as interesting as this one or any of the other ones, but I find it interesting anyway :)
There was a time when Ireland had 3 different governments in the space of about 18 months.
After the June 1981 general election, the result was inconclusive. The outgoing Fianna Fáil government, led by Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Charlie Haughey, lost its majority - the two main opposition parties, Fine Gael and Labour, together had more seats than Fianna Fáil, but not enough for a majority. Nevertheless, they formed a minority coalition government, with Fine Gael leader Garret FitzGerald as Taoiseach, and held on until they lost a vote on the budget, meaning another general election was called in February 1982.
After the February 1982 election, Fianna Fáil overtook the Fine Gael-Labour coalition in terms of seats and formed a new government, with Charlie Haughey returning as Taoiseach, but were still short of a majority.
So, they hung on to power for about 9 months until they had to call yet another election in November 1982, at which point the people basically went "Feck it!" and gave the Fine Gael-Labour coalition a majority, with Garret FitzGerald serving as Taoiseach until 1987.
Okay I had no idea this was a thing and my granddad was in the Dáil for like 25+ years. Just goes to show idk shit bout my country's politics lol
But wait a minute...who's President while the President is sleeping?!
If a two-hour colonoscopy is reason for an understudy, surely an eight-hour snooze?
Anthony Churko probably because you can wake the guy up at any time of crises. But when the president is on the operating table, you can't just drag him off to the white house again :D
If you're asleep and there's a national emergency, they can wake you up. If you're under sedation with a tube up your butt, they cannot.
not just a tube, a camera up his ass
then who is the president when trump is out golfing
the camera that was shoved up Bush's ass
The US state of New Jersey had 6 governors in a single year, between January 2001 and January 2002, with most of the turnover within the last 10 days before Jim McGreevey took office.
These were the days before the office of lieutenant governor was created (c.2007), and the acting state senate president took over as governor instead. Since the state senate was sworn in before the governor, NJ transitioned between a small parade of acting governors despite McGreevey being the governor-elect.
While the state senate president was acting as governor, he would serve both as the head of the legislative body (passing laws) and as the chief executive (administering laws) which was a very unique and powerful arrangement in a state where the governor was already granted more power than his counterparts across the country.
I love my crazy ass state.
Lady Jane Grey was *_defacto_* queen of -the UK- England for nine days
Robert Hancock she was never offically coronated tho :)
Belgium Mapping crowned - and Edward VIII was never crowned either. A king has the same powers before Coronation that they would have afterwards
Belgium Mapping the last three kings of Sweden has never been coronated either
Not the entire UK just England and Ireland because they didn't share a monarch until James I (in England & Ireland) and VI (in Scotland) succeeded Elizabeth I when she died childless. And the UK was formed until 1801 when Great Britain (England and Scotland which merged in 1707) and Ireland unified and the borders as we know it were created when Ireland became independent.
The sad fact about Lady Jane Grey was she never wanted to Queen, pushed into by her scheming Father. Infact intially she was almost relieved when she was dethroned by Mary I.
That relief ended when Mary's regime decided to execute her - a decision spurred by her's father's and brothers' involvement in the failed rebellion of Thomas Wyatt the Younger.
The only silver lining is that with her sentencing of "to be burned alive on Tower Hill or beheaded as the Queen pleases" (burning was the traditional English punishment for treason committed by women - under the reasoning that the sight of a woman being hung, drawn and quartered would be too "obscene". No, I don't understand that reasoning either.) Mary had the small mercy to choicing the beheading option.
Not much of a silver lining, I know.
Hey JJ, great clip, again. South Africa recently kicked out President Zuma and replaced him with Ramaphosa... so I was looking at past presidents of South Africa and it looks like only Nelson Mandela was ever able to complete a term... there were some who did a second term, but then didn’t finish that term. To have every single presidency, bar one, terminated early for the entire existence of a country, must be some kind of record... and probably says something about the volatility of the politics in that place.
That was probably the less controversial thing Dick Cheney has done
King Edward VIII reigned from January 20th 1936 to December 11th 1936. It’s not as insanely short as some of these US presidents but it is an interesting story that had a lot of controversy among the royal family and British public because many people thought that when King Edward VIII abdicated that he caused a lot of stress on his brother King George VI causing him a more severe habit of chain smoking, thus causing him to develop several cancerous lung tumours. Like I said it was not as short as some of these other people’s terms but it is an interesting story.
Edward V111 married a twice divorced American and basically deserted-, he was universally despised -are you listening Harry
@@michaelmoreton5042 seems to be a theory that Edward VIII gave the top level conservatives the excelent excuse for removing him from office by setting his mind on marrying Simpson.
He was rather popular among the common people, but loathed the stuffy protocols. His own secretary leaked all kind of compromising facts to the archbishop of Canterbury Cosmo Lang the most vocal of his opponents. Edward proposed a morganatic marriage but the cabinet rejected it bound on getting the unconventinal king out.
true or not true, I liked the video dedicated to this called "a most british coup."
Missouri is pronounced MissourEE, not MissourAA, still love u tho
Mark A Psst, Don't tell. The MissourAA pronunciation let's the locals know if the speaker is native or foreign. Gotta watch out for those damn Canadians trying to take our soybeans. 😉
Some Natives say Missoura as well, I’m Missourian, and my former Math and Science teacher, who grew up here sometimes says Missoura
Pronouncing it as MissourAA is probably some quirk of the Canadian accent.
It's pronounced misery
I’ve heard people born and currently living in that state say it both ways
You look really good this video, JJ
Thanks! I got new lighting recently.
In my country of Jordan we had King Talal, who had a very weird situation., he was in Switzerland having medical treatment for his schizophrenia when our first king, king Abdullah the first was assassinated and there was then a big constitutional crisis while he was not in Jordan, it lasted a day. He was then crowned when he came back in 1951, but was forced to abdicate not a year later, because of that same schizophrenia, and we then had king Hussein for the next 4 decades before he died of cancer in 1999.
oali 24 that's interesting
Not as exciting as all the other stories in the comments, but I think this is quite interesting:
Since there is not yet any restriction in Germany, as to how long a person may serve as chancellor, we’ve only ever had eight federal chancellors, since our nation’s foundation. Because of that, almost every German, who is slightly interested in politics, can name you all eight of these people. This makes it kind of remarkable that Germany actually has had a ninth person in the office!
After the resignation of chancellor number four (social democrat, Willy Brandt), his “Vice chancellor” Walter Scheel took over and essentially acted as chancellor from May 7th to May 16th 1974. Now the office of vice chancellor is nowhere to be found in our constitution (although the media sure does make it seem like there is). Instead, the constitution only mentions that the chancellor has a deputy, amongst his or her ministers. It doesn’t mention any qualifications as to who that person is specifically, but the “title” (that doesn't legally exist) is usually given to the leader of the smaller coalition party. Scheel himself was leader of the FDP, the free democrats, or so called Liberals, a center to center-right leaning party. Back then it was the only party in parliament, other than the big two people’s parties, and always had very few seats when compared to them (Of course today we have six parties there). So they were the little guy, the one struggling to rob some votes of the traditional two voter blocks...
But because our fourth chancellor resigned, because a chancellor’s resignation doesn’t necessarily mean that there have to be new elections, because a new candidate had to be found first and because nobody had to vote on who’s running the government in the meantime, Walter Scheel got to act as the only liberal chancellor in our history. In fact this makes him the only “chancellor”(ish person) in our nation’s history, who was neither Christian democrat (right-wing-big guy), nor a Social democrat (left-wing-big guy).
Oh and about two months later he was elected Germany’s president as well. So that must have been a good few months for him. :)
Edit (If anybody cares): Here's a video of Walter Scheel singing "On the yellow carriage" on national television in the same year. ua-cam.com/video/YGlO961zcF4/v-deo.html This little clip caused a lot of outrage in political spheres at the time, but sure as hell made him one of the most popular politicians at the time. The song stayed in the charts for weeks! Not because it sounded great (Even at the time it must have sounded really old to most Germans) but because people enjoyed seeing their politicans being humanized. Still his personal success never really had any noticable effect on his party's stats (which I'm not all that sad about haha).
Maybe in addition to that, another funny or interesting story about German presidents mistake is the unintenional opening of the wall. In the night from the 9th to 10th November 1989 the wall got opened from the GDR. in fact they decided to open it somewhen in the future but didn't wrote a date or note for that on the paper for Schabowski (the speaker) at that time. So when he announced it in public TV a reporter asked like "When" and he just said sth like "since there is no note from now on". So a lot of people just directly went to the wall and walked peacefully out of the GDR after convincing and showing the news to the guards. A lot of them returned the same day after just looking a little bit around in the other Germany.
I know :D My friends and I constantly reference him! Whenever anyone asks when we'll go for lunch or sth like that, we usually reply: "That occurs, as far as I know,... um... that's right now, unhesitatingly... yeah."
What a beautiful quote. Truly the words of a Poet ;)
Did you know that Horst Seehofer was acting president for about a month in 2012, after Wulff stepped down?
babablap Sure ;) As a Bavarian myself, I sure didn't miss out on those news.
Always nice to have one of facts used in a video. Cheers JJ, keep making those videos
Once in 1913 Pedro Lascirain was president of Mexico for just 40 minutes until a coup d’etat made him give the presidency to Victoriano Huerta
Actually he was not deposed, he had been sworn in with explicit instructions to hand over the Presidence to Victoriano Huerta, the one who executed the entire plan. And in a way, Jose María Pino Suárez was president for about 10 or 15 seconds, because that's how much later he was assasinated compared to Francisco I. Madero
Histeria was great, wutareyoutalkinbout
In a fictional country I created the Kings wife was Acting Monarch for a few hours while the King underwent surgery to remove his Appendix. During his two week recovery he declared the former king (who he ousted two years prior) acting monarch until he felt well enough to resume full time operations.
I had no clue about any of this. Great video.
In Spring 2016 we had a presidential election in Austria. In the second round the two candidates Alexander van der Bellen (Green Party) and Norbert Hofer (Freedom Party) battled it out. Alexander van der Bellen won and was scheduled to assume office on 9 July.
However, the results of the second round of voting were annulled after the results in some administrative districts were challenged, and the Constitutional Court of Austria found that Austrian electoral law had been disregarded. In the end it doesn't even matter, van der Bellen ultimately became president of Austria.
(Re)Elections were set for 2 October 2016. Until then, outgoing Austrian president Heinz Fischer was replaced on an interim basis by the three presidents of Parlament, the "National President Council" of which Hofer! was coincedentally a member^^ So basically Hofer lost the election but was still legally head of state, and because the revote was postponed (technical issues) he was in office for half a year.
The acting president thing again just happened today with Kamala Harris
I remember this! So now, there are three people who served as acting president, and 4 occasions when they did so: Bush once, Cheney twice, and now Harris one more time!
I rewatched it again, and I enjoyed it as always! This is an interesting topic! Thanks for making this video!
This was such an interesting video! Please do more drawing presidents or other historical figures! I think you should draw the founding fathers
4:52 also Donald Blyth was President for a few days while President Frank Underwood was recovering from a gun shot wound.
The same goes for Peter Macleish serving as acting president after President Kirkman was shot in Designated Survivor.
Lothar de Maizière was the first last and only freely elected prime minister of the GDR. He served not even a full year.
Because of JJ’s videos, Saturday’s are my favorite day of the week
Oh hi Liggs
Here in portugal at 15 of January 1920 there were formed 3 consecutive gorvemnts that fell one after one and one of them lasted just for 5 minutes
Love your work
3:25 "Missoura."
6:25 I think it is actually cute and kind of humanizing in a way.
Frederick III held the title of German Emperor (and King of Prussia) for only 99 days before dying of throat cancer in 1888. 1888 is known as "the year of three emperors" in Germany.
Umberto II of Italy was king for a mere 34 days in 1946 before a referendum abolished the monarchy.
Alexander Haig deserved an honorable mention, if only for unconstitutionally appointing himself “in control” for a number of hours. I’ve heard a couple people who were alive back then talk about how disturbing that was.
That's finna woke
ansaree97 haha
ansaree97 man of culture I see
ya But I’m Woken Finna
Wut
J.J. McCullough are you not a man of culture?
How about lady Jane grey "the Nine Days' Queen"
This is quite useful because right now I'm studying the U.S Constitution so thank you for videos.
Fascinating and fun. Bravo! I guess the brief reigns of Frankenstein Cheney show the oath has nothing to do with defining/delimiting the office. If they didn't swear him in that is
Hey, wouldn't it be great if they just abolished the office of Prexy? We clearly can get along without it.
Imagine the massive "huh?" when archaeologists find Atchinson's tomb in a thousand years
It’s just a grave not a tomb, gravestones for averted people aren’t maintained for that long anyway.
Magdalena Andersson served as PM of sweeden for a few hours
The son of Charles X was King of France for about 20 minutes - I found out about him at Chambord the renaissance castle / palace on the Loire that was bought for his son Henri, Count of Chambord (the legitimist Henry V of France).
6:21 a letter for his grandkids it's really cute
When Russian tsar Fyodor I died, he made his wife Irina Godunova the ruler of Russia. 9 days later she left this position to join a monastery, paving a way to the throne for her brother Boris.
King Louis XIX was the king of France for 20 minutes on August 2nd 1830.
I was gonna mention that
Well Ill be darned I was gonna mention that too!! I saw it on some random top 10's channel before
The first sovereign Queen Of England (the UK hadn't been formed at the time) was Lady Jane Grey who only served 9 days before being imprisoned otherthrown and later executed by Queen Elizabeth I (or Mary I can never remember which order they came in) but in that brief time she did do a few things like giving out most of the Royal wardrobe to peasants. Sadly her short reign means she's often forgotten which is a shame cause I think she was cool
Do a story about crazy presidential candidates like Vermin Supreme!
Wasn’t there a president of Mexico who was in office for 45 minutes
Kamala Harris now too
In Italy the prime minister that served the shortest was Tommaso Tittoni (16th - 28th of march 1905), only 12 days and it is known only for this short time in office. The most famous short time head of state in Italian history was Umberto II of Savoy king of Italy from 9th of may to 10th of june 1946 when the monarchy was abolished. For this he is known as "the king of may"
They named a part of a great railroad after him too .The Atchison-Topeka line.
Yay
5:37 A little less than 4 years later, he would again serve as president from January 20, 1989 at noon, to January 20, 1993 at noon.
I can't fault Cheney for writing a letter while he was acting president and signing at as such. Especially since it was just to his grandkids and not some official. His grandkids probably got a kick out of it.
Hmm... wonder why this video has been recommended by UA-cam... wonder why...
Prime minister of Montenegro only 27.........years
That is a lot longer than most other people who have been mentioned.
In Portugal it was a government that was called the Five Minutes Government, because the Prime-Minister fell before he really became PM.
1:00 They wrote the current Constitution in 1787, not 1789. I remember this because there was a schoolhouse rock video about it in 8th grade, "the Preamble."
True! The current US Constitution was written in 1787! In fact, the 1789 date was when the US Constitution came into full effect, with the inauguration of the first President, Congress, and Supreme Court. The wait is, of course, for states to ratify the Constitution and hold the elections to the presidency and Congress. In other words, dating the current Constitution to 1789 is only half-right!
Also, I left a like on your comment!
2:14 Actually, I learned it from _Animaniacs_ .
ARC the Clarinet Master same
Same
William Harrisson, how do you praise
That guy was dead in thirty days!
Technically, Freedom Tower is 1775.7.
In Austria on 6th of July 2004 the President Thomas Klestil died just 2 days before finishing his second six-year term. This made the three speakers of the National Council, Andreas Khol, Barbara Prammer and Thomas Prinzhorn, joint presidents for just two days, until Heinz Fischer was sworn in on the 8th of July 2004
In Poland on July 8th 2010 we had 3 presidents. One of them (Bogdan Borusewicz) just for a few hours.
well in 2001 Argentina had five presidents in two weeks from Christmas till New Years
nromk I remember this being in the news!
Yes.
Hi from argentina.
Como estas :D
There is only one week between Christmas and New Years. So they must have been presidents from the week before Christmas until New Years
Uh oh... J.J. please don’t grow your beard and mustache out.
Funny that David Atchison has 2 cities named after him?
Ecuador national anthem is quite nice
No one:
Americans:
Canadians:
JJ: Missour-Ahhhh
Ok, I’ve enjoyed this video more than once… it’s still good… and very interesting
Gotta love the Aboout
England has Lady Jane Grey whom Edward Tudor announced as his successor, but only like two counties recognised her rule and Edwards sister Bloody Mary Tudor assumed control nine days later I think
Here in Bolivia, President Pedro Blanco Soto was president only for 6 days before his assassination in a convent called La Recoletta in Sucre on New Years Day 1829
This whole acting president vs president sounds an awful lot like assistant to the regional manager vs assistant regional manager
In Poland there was a Temporary Acting King called Saul Wahl, he was made King by council, but only for one day.
In Germany we had a one day minister-president in the state of Thuringia. The position is elected by the state parliament. A liberal (as in liberalism, not in the US use of the term) politician was elected mostly by far right members of parliament. He accepted the vote, but this was considered super inapproriate by most of it's own party (and frankly, most of the country), so he resigned the day after.
As someone who watches your videos at night may i say thank god you decided change your background.
You should make a video about Huey long
Not an actual office holder, but Mal Meninga announced he was withdrawing as a candidate around 30 seconds into the live radio interview where he was announcing his candidacy.
In Chile we had a crazy period in which we even had a Socialist Republic for 19 days, it was in 1932 after Carlos Ibáñez del Campo was exiled because of the economics post-Great depression, but we had like 20 presidents through that year
SoloSoy ElPipe I was looking for this comment. And the one about Argentina having like 5 presidents in a year in the 2000'.
John I the Posthumous of France and Navarre was born king as his father died while his mother was pregnant, he then reigned for 5 days and died due to unknown causes. So he was King for his entire 5 day life.
I know of a football coach who was the manager for this professional team for about an hour when it was sold too someone else who instantly fired the manager and replaced him with the guy he wanted.
There was that one guy, who was chancellor of Germany for a nine day, because Willy Brandt didn‘t want to stay in office until his sucsessor was elected (he had to resign because an important staffer was a GDR spy). He didn‘t even get an portrait or a mention in the official list, but he became head of state later, so I guess he did fine.
During 2001, in Argentina, we had 5 fully functional and legaly sworn in presidents in one week.
Also, in the transition between the actual president and the previous one we had also a 12 hour president called Pinedo.
In december 2001 Argentina had 5 presidents in less than a 11 days (but some here would say it was all of them in a Week): Fernando De la Rua, Ramón Puerta, Adolfo Rodríguez Saá, Eduardo Camaño and Eduardo Duhalde
In the United States, the Constitution only prescribes that an office holder make an oath (or affirmation) before exercising the office, but it doesn't require that it literally be done at the hour and minute at which the transition from the prior holder to the new one occurs. (Nor does it even require that it be spoken before a large gathering at that moment.) A valid oath could also be exercised in written form. The point is that such matters as not taking an oath on Sunday are dealt with easily by taking the oath on Saturday. The new office holder would still legally assume the office on Sunday.
Here in India we have a movie called "nayak" whose story is that a journalist questions the Chief minister (provincial version of pm here) about some of is scandals and policies and the cm challenges him to hold the position for one day, which he does very well!!😂 I know sounds crappy but it's really nice...
I am from the USA and I love India! : )
Something a bit similar, is that one time the King of Belgium was declared "unable to govern" for 20 hours in 1990. I wonder if htat could be considered the "shortest" abdication.
He legally shouldn’t have because the government did that in order to avoid a veto on abortion
Janio Quadros served as president of Brazil from January 31- August 25, 1961.
Henry Walezy who was elected the king of Polish lithuanian commonwealth he ruled as king from 1572 to 1573. he was from France
In Britain George canning was prime minister from April to August 1827 serving less than a year in office
Peruvian native, Manuel Márquez Sterling was the 10th President of Cuba for a few hours in January 18th of 1934. He was an Indepedent politician and is known for marrying his cousin, tying 16/17th place in the Paris 1900 chess tournament and for being Carlos Márquez Sterling's uncle, a semi-known Cuban politician.
I know there were a few prime ministers here in Canada that have only served for a few months. Like our first female pm Kim Campbell became pm after former pm Brian Mulroney resigned a few months before the election. That was in July I think and then she subsequently lost the election in November. I think joe Clark and Charles tupper also became pm but then lost it within a few months too
I think New Jersey had an acting Governor for 90 minutes once. We had a really weird amount of acting Governors in the early 2000s due to the fact that the position of Lieutenant Governor wasn't created yet.
In Romania, our last 2 prime-ministers served for 3 months. I know it's not a short period of time, but it's still happening. Also, after the former prime-minister resigned, we had a visit from the prime-minister of Japan, but we didn't have anyone to welcome him, so the President welcomed him. Romanian politics are weird.
6:35 I know of a French king who was officially king for 20 minutes.
Siaka Stevens,The Prime Minister of Sierra Leone served for 30 minutes. He was sworn in on March 21st 1967 at the Governor-General’s Mansion but just a few minutes after reciting his oath of office rebels broke into the office and arrested him. He was however restored to power in 1968 and remained in the position until 1985.
