HighlightsIn America, during the lame duck period, people seek blessings that the President should remain elected. Many times in America, Vice Presidents have completed their term as President.
He was the President for only 32 days, then remained the Vice President for 3 years and 11 months. There have been many such incidents in America when the Vice President The President assumed the presidency and acted as President for the remaining term. If you have seen the House of Cards series, then you can understand this very well, but is it possible that even after winning the election, Donald Trump may not sit on the President’s chair and JD Weiss will be seen on it. In fact, whenever elections are held in America and a new President is elected, the Vice President is also automatically elected along with him. In America, the Vice President is decided by the Presidential candidate, but in reality, whether he is selected or not depends on the victory or defeat of the President. Therefore, this is a person who, in a way, gets the most important number two position in the country without contesting any election. What is Trump’s age? Whenever someone wins the post of President in America, there is a joke that he will remain safe for the next 75 days i.e. till January 20 and will not be able to take the oath of office. This is certainly a joke but also a serious matter. JD Vance will become the youngest Vice President of America. His oath will also be taken on January 20. (Reuters) What is Lame Duck Period? Donald Trump is 78 years and 4 months old. When current President Joe Biden assumed this post four years ago, he was 77 years old. This is such an age that anything can happen at any time. There is a gap of 75 days between when a President wins the election and then takes oath. It is called lame duck i.e. lame duck. What does America celebrate during this period? This is a strange period. The whole of America celebrates that during this lame duck period, their elected President remains safe in every way. The same is being believed about Donald Trump, but if something happens to him during this period or if he becomes such a condition due to health condition that he is not in a position to administer, then Vice President JD Vance will be sworn in as President. Will be provided. If the President-elect of the United States dies or becomes incapacitated due to an attack or other cause before being sworn in, there are protocols in place to handle the situation, although this is rare. Has never happened in modern history. Then the Vice President becomes the President, then the Vice President becomes the President. If the elected President dies before the oath of office of the President on Inauguration Day i.e. Election Day i.e. 20 January, then the Vice President elected will be sworn in as President on 20 January. If the President-elect dies after the Electoral College voting, the process becomes more complicated. Congress can then certify the Vice President-elect as the incoming President or make other arrangements. It has happened many times in America that the Vice President has become the President under special circumstances. Usually when the current President is unable to remain in office. This has happened 9 times in American history. Most of these happened due to the death of the President and one happened due to his resignation. Harrison could remain president only for 32 days and then died. William Henry Harrison (1841): He died of illness after only 31 days in office. William Henry Harrison was an American military officer and the ninth President of the United States, the oldest president elected at the time. His tenure was the shortest in American presidential history. After him, Vice-President John Tyler became President and served as President for the entire next term. Similarly, other Presidents – Zachary Taylor (1850): He died of illness and was succeeded by Vice President Millard Fillmore – Abraham Lincoln (1865): He was assassinated. Vice President Andrew Johnson assumed the presidency. – James A. Garfield (1881): He was assassinated and succeeded Vice President Chester A. Arthur became President. – William McKinley (1901): He was assassinated. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt took office. – Warren G. Harding (1923): Died of a heart attack. Vice-President Calvin Coolidge succeeded him. – Franklin D. Roosevelt (1945): Died of illness. Vice President Harry S. Truman became President. – John F. Kennedy (1963): He was assassinated. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson took office. Richard Nixon (1974) resigned amid the Watergate scandal and Vice President Gerald Ford became President. Ford’s example is unique because he was not elected as President or Vice President. In fact, Spiro Agnew, who was elected Vice President, had also resigned, then he was appointed Vice President under the 25th Amendment. The Vice President then takes over the top position. The 25th Amendment, added in 1967, allows the President to temporarily transfer power to the Vice President if he or she is unable to perform his or her duties, such as during a medical procedure. For example, George W. Bush briefly transferred power to Vice President Dick Cheney during medical procedures in 2002 and 2007. These were temporary and Bush then took power again.
