 LL> Hello Roy,

 >>LL> Amendment Twenty-Five of the U.S. Consitution was not passed and
 >>LL> ratified until well after Truman had left office.

 RW>> Article II, Section 1,

 RW>> "(In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his
 RW>> Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties
 RW>> of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, "
 RW>> (continued below)

 RW>> Note that the first choice is that the Powers and Duties of the
 RW>> President goto (that's what the word Devolve mean) the Vice
 RW>> President in the case of the stated reasons above. It also is within
 RW>> the realm and power of the Congress to pass legislation (aka Law)
 RW>> that deals with the situation (see next).

 RW>> Article II, Section 1, (continued)

 RW>> "and the Congress MAY (emphasis mine) by Law provide for the Case of
 RW>> Removal, Death, Resignation" etc..

 RW>> Which they've already done by specifying that the Speaker of the
 RW>> House be the next in line after the President and the Vice
 RW>> President.

 LL> When FDR died, Truman was sworn in as "acting President".
 LL> When JFK died, LBJ was sworn in as "acting President".

 LL> In order for the Speaker of the House to be sworn in, he/she would
 LL> have to resign from office.  Ditto for the Senate Pro Tempore.
 LL> Whoever assumes the office of the President must meet the
 LL> qualifications for President as stated in the U.S. Constitution.  For
 LL> example, Henry Kissinger could never have been sworn in as President
 LL> because he was born in Germany.

 >>LL> It was not until 1967, due to an executive order by LBJ, that a VP
 >>LL> assumed the office of President upon the death or incapacity of the
 >>LL> President.  Of course, that means Ronald Reagan was no longer
 >>LL> President when he underwent surgery following the
 >>LL> assassination attempt by John Hinckley...

 >>RW> You're so full of shit your eyes are brown and the shit runs out of
 >>RW> your mouth. Hopefully it hasn't clogged your ears yet.

 >>LL> Prior to LBJ's executive order, all vice presidents who had assumed
 >>LL> the office of the presidency were "acting presidents".  Of course,

 RW>> See above.

 LL> You are turning a darker shade of brown.

 >>RW> Read it again. This time read it for comprehension; You said; He
 >>RW> (Truman) was not elected before 1948.

 >>LL> Truman was not elected President until 1948.  Gosh.  I just
 >>LL> repeated myself.  ;)

 RW>> No, you merely corrected what you should have said in the first
 RW>> place.

 LL> One cannot be re-elected President unless one has already been
 LL> elected President.  Truman was never elected President until 1948.

 >>RW> I said; He (Truman) was elected in 1944.

 >>LL> FDR was elected President in 1944.  AFAIK, we can only have one
 >>LL> elected President at a time.  Of course, I could be wrong.  But
 >>LL> I don't think so.  ;)

 RW>> Sorry to inform you that you're in error again. It's true that FDR
 RW>> was elected President in 1944. It is also true that Truman was
 RW>> elected to the office of Vice President in 1944 and as a Senator
 RW>> from Missouri before that; thus your statement that Truman was not
 RW>> elected before 1948 a false statement.

 LL> Show me where Truman was elected President prior to 1948.

 >>RW> You didn't define what he was or wasn't elected to, therefore your
 >>RW> statement is false.

 >>LL> Truman was not elected President until 1948.  Gosh.  I just
 >>LL> repeated myself.  Again.  ;)

 RW>> But that wasn't your first statement. That is merely a correction of
 RW>> what you should have stated, had you been as inteligent as you think
 RW>> you are.

 LL> It is not a correction, but an affirmation of my original statement.

 >>RW> Mine is true.

 >>LL> FDR was elected President in 1944.  As well as in 1932, 1936, and
 >>LL> 1940. If you care to disagree, please say so.

 RW>> I don't disagree with that statement.

 LL> I commend you for having a little bit of sense.

 >>LL> Truman was elected President in 1948.
 >>LL> If you care to disagree, please say so.

 RW>> It's true that he was elected President in 1948, but he was already
 RW>> the sitting President. That makes him a re-elected President in
 RW>> 1949.

 LL> The presidential election was in 1948.  There was no presidentital
 LL> election in 1949.  And Truman was never elected president prior to
 LL> 1948.  Now do the math.  And wipe your pants.

 >>LL> In 1952, Truman chose not to run for re-election.

 >>RW> How can someone who has not been elected run for re-election?

 >>LL> "Truman?  He did win a second term.  1948-52." - Roy Witt

 >>LL> "I said; He (Truman) was elected in 1944." - Roy Witt

 >>LL> "How can someone who has not been elected run for re-election?"
 >>LL> - Roy Witt

 >>LL> Roy Witt's own words hang you.  ;)

 RW>> Wrong again. They merely prove my point. Thanks for playing.

 LL> Something brown is dripping out of your pants onto the floor...

 >>bk> His first elected term as president was 1949-1953. His first and
 >>bk> only.

 >>RW> No, his first and last...

 >>RW> More Lee Lofaso bullshit cut for brevity.
 >>LL> Seems the Witt(less) one is full of bullshit.  ;)

 RW>> If that were true, it would mean that you're full of shit.

 LL> Nah.  I'm wearing a raincoat.  With a hood.  And rubber boots. --Lee

To cover the fact that you're also covered with shit...
