Dick Thornburgh - U.S. Attorney.
Following a failed bid for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1966, Thornburgh served as a delegate to the 1967-1968 Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention. In 1969 President Richard Nixon appointed Thornburgh as the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, where he earned a reputation as being tough on organized crime. In 1975, President Gerald Ford tapped him to serve as the Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department's Criminal Division. After two years at that post, Thornburgh returned to private practice.

This language was somewhat ambiguous in the eyes of some: was the Vice President merely acting as President, or did he actually succeed to the office? While this question was answered by precedent when John Tyler succeeded to the office upon William Henry Harrison's death in 1841, there still remained doubts. Section 1 of ...
