President G.W. Bush temporarily transfered his Presidential powers to Vice President Dick Cheney while he was anesthetized for a colonoscopy.

After an assassination attempt on President Reagan where he was shot, Reagan was the first to invoke the Constitution's 25th Amendment since its adoption in 1967 as a means of dealing with presidential disability and succession.

You are undoubtedly looking for Vice President Joe Biden. However this is nothing more than an urban myth. President Obama became President at noon on the day of his inauguration, regardless of whether or not the oath contained an error.

Not in the US, unless you are thinking about somebody like Alexander Haag, who said he was in control when Reagan was shot. William Henry Harrison had the shortest time as president since he died one month after taking office.

I wish it was George Bush, but i must say i do not know. I looked it up on Google, but all it told me was President Atchison, and there was no president named this.

William Henry Harrison, the 9th President, back in 1841. He gave a long speech at his inauguration and the weather was bad. He fell ill with pneumonia and died a month later.
