in 1849

At the end of James Polk's term as President of the United States, his successor, Zachary Taylor was to have taken office. Unfortunately, the day Polk's term ended was a Sunday, and Taylor, for religious reasons, refused to be sworn in until the following Monday. So for Sunday, March 4, 1849, with Polk out of office and Taylor not yet in office, the Constitutional rules of succession required that Missouri senator and President Pro Tempore of the Senate David Rice Atchison take the awesome responsibilities of President of the United States for one day.

He used his executive powers in a playful manner for that day, calling for a national day of celebration of pandas, granting a raise in salary "to all gentlemen with attractive teenage daughters," declaring war on Lake Superior, and ending slavery. These executive orders were all rescinded the next day, but they provided a source of fun for a crabby nation.
