When Richard Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace on August 9, 1974, he did so with a simple letter stating, "I hereby resign the office of the President of the United States," which was initialed by his witness, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at 11:35 a.m.

In 1865, five days after the end of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln was shot with a pistol while attending the theater. Vice President Andrew Johnson was also a target in the assassination plot, but was saved due to the shooter John Wilkes Booth contracted to kill him being "incompetent at conspiracy." He apparently spent the day drunk in the lobby of Johnson's hotel.

The first president to die in office was William Henry Harrison, who passed only 31 days into his presidency in 1841. Harrison's death has long been attributed to pneumonia he supposedly caught during his long inaugural address given in the cold, but some historians now contest that fact, suggesting contemporary medical practices played a hand. Harrison's vice president, John Tyler, assumed the presidency against some opposition from the former president's cabinet, who wanted Tyler to remain "vice president acting as president."

When George W. Bush was the 43rd president, he twice made Dick Cheney, his controversial vice president, the official acting president of the United States. The reasons were routine: Bush underwent two colonoscopies during his double-term in office—on June 29, 2002 and on July 7, 2007—and was sedated during each. Cheney was acting president for a total of about four and a half hours.

During his brief stint as commander in chief, Cheney penned a letter to his grandchildren as "a souvenir for them to have down the road someday."

While president, Ronald Reagan underwent surgery for colon cancer on July 13, 1985. Before doing so he invoked Section 3 of the 25th Amendment and he sent letters to Congress officially making Vice President George H.W. Bush the acting president while the surgery took place. Power was transferred back later that day—with Bush's time in power lasting from 11:28 a.m. to 7:22 p.m.

When Ronald Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981, his cabinet drafted the appropriate letter that would transfer power to George H.W. Bush, but they decided not to sign it or deliver it to Congress. Reagan was back working the day after he was shot, and was back in the White House within two months.

Under the terms of Section 3 of the 25th Amendment, which was ratified on February 10, 1967, vice presidents temporarily assume the power of the presidency if the president is incapacitated and unable to perform his duties. Jimmy Carter contemplated transferring power in 1978 when he needed to have hemorrhoid surgery. A letter of the transfer of power was drafted but not implemented, as Carter was never deemed unable to perform the duties of president because of the surgery.

The Senate leadership is divided between the vice president and the president pro tempore, who, as the title indicates, acts as the Senate leader when the vice president is unavailable. Between 1886 and 1947, the president pro tempore was third in line for the presidency. After Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, his vice president, Andrew Johnson, took over as president. When Johnson was impeached three years later, that left Benjamin Wade of Ohio in direct line to the presidency. Johnson, however, was acquitted in the Senate when it failed to reach the two-thirds majority needed to convict, and Wade therefore never assumed the position of president.

The order of succession has flip-flopped throughout the years. In the second session of Congress in 1792, the Presidential Succession Act was passed. It modified the original Constitutional plan by adding two leaders of Congress—the Senate president pro tempore ("for the time being") and the House speaker—to the line of succession. They were then removed from the line in 1886 and replaced with the entirety of the president's cabinet. In 1947, the leaders of Congress were reinstated ahead of the cabinet members, and the speaker was placed ahead of the president pro tempore. So the order now goes vice president, House leader, Senate leader, cabinet.

The U.S. Constitution only vaguely outlined presidential succession in Article II, Section 1, Clause 6. The 83-word blurb stated that power would be transferred to vice presidents in the event that a president was removed because of "Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office." In the same clause, Congress was granted the power to instate a president if both the president and vice president were removed. But the processes of how that would be accomplished were not clearly outlined
