I suspect there may be dozens or even hundreds of these stories on SOL. I am looking for stories in which the main character becomes president of the United States. I could not think of search terms that would render such a list.

'Executive Orders' by Tom Clancy, part of the Jack Ryan universe has Ryan becoming President when a character from the previous book in the series seeks to revenge Japan's loss in a limited war with the US and flies a passenger jet into the Capitol kill the President, most of the Cabinet, and most of Conress.

Executive Orders' by Tom Clancy,
was the aftermath ... the action you mentioned all happened in the prior Clancy novel Debt of Honor
The event kind of spanned the end of the first book and the beginning of the second. I chose to mention 'Executive Orders' because it was about his being swoarn in and his term of office. And yes, I know the actual oath took place at the end of the previous book.
How about the Lady in Red? Did the main character in that story become president? (I bogged down amidst all the kudos)
She became President shortly after being sworn in due to the death of the President after a stroke.

I just finished rereading it.
Even though written before Trump many of the situation's were close although from different sides.
Maybe 'Retreads'
He becomes President in this.
Although 'A Fresh Start' is an excellent read!!
