Who was the speaker of the House in 1947 whom became the president after the vice presidents' death?

Question

i think it was around the time tht Roosevelt was the president. i would be very happy if any1 could tell me =)

Answer 1

In order for the Speaker of the House to ascend to the Presidency, BOTH the President and the Vice President would have to die. That has never happened, so in 1947, the Speaker did not ascend to the Presidency. Harry Truman was Roosevelt's VP, and upon Roosevelt's death, Truman became President. He was elected VP after serving as a Senator from Missouri.

Chow!!

Answer 2

Roosevelt died in 1945 and Truman took over and was president in 1947. Sam Rayburn was Speaker of the House in 1947
Only Truman (the vp) became president.

Answer 3

this never happened. There has never been a speaker of the house who became president. The closest it ever came was when Spiro Agnew, then VP, resigned, and the fear was Richard Nixon would resign right after, but Nixon appointed Ford as VP and then he resigned making Gerald Ford president and not the speaker of the house, Carl Albert.
