You got it!


"King was terminally ill with tuberculosis when he was nominated as Franklin Pierce’s vice president. He was sworn in while in Cuba seeking medical treatment, making him the only public official to be sworn in on foreign soil. He died less than a month later, never having assumed his duties."
