The Man Who Was President For A Day: And

The day was March 4, 1849...a day in U.S. history that lacked a president. As James Polk's term ended on Saturday March 3rd, newly elected president Zachary Taylor refused to take the oath of office on a Sunday. Who then was president? A statue in front of the Clinton County, Missouri courthouse provides the answer.
