I was in college when that happened and we spent a lot of time declaring ourselves In Charge for no reason, usually while drunk

I am just watching The Americans for the first time and they covered that time in an episode. I had forgotten about it.

VPs are occasionally put on the spot when there's a health scare -- when Ike had a heart attack I think Nixon got these -- but usually they wave them off a little more gracefully.

Kind of a diff situation since Hitler was already chancellor, but von Hindenburg was president of Germany at the time and his death essentially cleared the way for the dictatorship. vH was in his late 80s at the time.
