What is the correct order of presidential succession?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Andrew Johnson (17th), Ulysses S. Grant (18th), and Rutherford B. Hayes (19th) establishes the chronological ordering.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- U.S. presidential succession here means chronological order of who served as president. Each president has an ordinal number (e.g., 17th, 18th, 19th). Knowing those ordinals or inauguration years lets you place them correctly.

2) Step-by-step reasoning process
- Identify each named president and their ordinal and years in office:
  - Andrew Johnson — 17th President, served 1865–1869.
  - Ulysses S. Grant — 18th President, served 1869–1877.
  - Rutherford B. Hayes — 19th President, served 1877–1881.
- Order them by ordinal (or by start year): 17 → 18 → 19, which yields Johnson, then Grant, then Hayes.

3) Intermediate steps (mapping)
- Johnson: 17th (1865 start)
- Grant: 18th (1869 start)
- Hayes: 19th (1877 start)
- Sorted by ordinal: 17, 18, 19 → Johnson, Grant, Hayes.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- The choice "Johnson, Grant, Hayes" matches the chronological sequence of presidencies based on ordinal numbers and inauguration years. Andrew Johnson succeeded Lincoln in 1865, Ulysses S. Grant followed in 1869, and Rutherford B. Hayes followed Grant in 1877.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- "Grant, Johnson, Hayes": Incorrect because Grant (18th) served after Johnson (17th); it reverses the first two.
- "Grant, Hayes, Johnson": Incorrect because it places Grant before Johnson and Hayes before Johnson; Johnson was earliest of the three.
- "Johnson, Hayes, Grant": Incorrect because it places Hayes (19th) before Grant (18th); that reverses the correct order of the last two.

6) Conclusion
The correct chronological order is Johnson, Grant, Hayes, which matches the provided answer.
