We did reform it.
William Henry Harrison's death called attention to an ambiguity in Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution regarding succession to the presidency. The Constitution clearly provided for the vice president to take over the "Powers and Duties of the said Office" in the event of a president's removal, death, resignation, or inability, but it was unclear whether the vice president formally became president of the United States, or simply temporarily assumed the powers and duties of that office, in a case of succession. It was decided that if Harrison's Vice President, John Tyler took the presidential oath of office, he would assume the office of president. Tyler became president for the remainder of Harrison's term. It was written into the Constitution in 1967 through Section One of the Twenty-fifth Amendment.

A reform for... one line.
