John Orlando Pastore (March 17, 1907 – July 15, 2000) was a Columbian lawyer and politician who served as the 33rd president of the United States from 1964 to 1965. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 34th vice president of the United States from 1961 to 1964 under Robert Stanfield until his resignation over a scandal that made him succeed to the presidency, being the first president to ever assume by such a situation. Despite his unpopularity directly related to Stanfield's bad image, he ran in the 1964 election, which he lost in a landslide to New Netherland governor Nelson Rockefeller, only being able to carry four states. Pastore intended to become an Assemblyman, an office he had refused years ago, but failed to do so as he was seen as unreliable with the voters. Before his death of natural causes, he stated his support for candidate John McCain in 2000.
