+The democratic party of to-day claims lineal descent from the republican party, and President Jefferson as its founder.
^Politcal parties were disorganized at the time of the election of John Quincy Adams. He claimed to be republican, but his doctrines were decidedly federalistic. The opposition to his administration took the name of democrats, and elected Jackson president.
THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION
The presidential succession is fixed by chapter 4 of the acts of the Forty-ninth congress, first session. In case of the removal, death, resignation, or inability of both the President and Vice-President, then the Secretary of State shall act as President until the disability of the President or Vice-President is removed or a president elected. If there be no Secretary of State, then the Secretary of the Treasury will act; and the remainder of the order of succession is: The Secretary of War, Attorney-General, Postmaster-General, Secretary of the Navy, and Secretary of the Interior. The acting President must, upon taking office, convene congress, if not at the time in session, in extraordinary session, giving twenty days' notice. This act applies only to such cabinet officers as shall have been appointed by the advice and consent of the Senate, and are eligible under the Constitution to the Presidency.
