This is a real tough trivia question.
I will post the answer next Sunday, if nobody has gotten the answer by then.

Without Googling, I think it was Willam Henry Harrison. I know he gave the longest inauguration speech in the rain and cold. Then later got pneumonia. I want to say he served around 30 days again without Googling.

James Madison was the shortest serving president at 5"4". He served for 8 years.

Some will say it was a Senator named David Rice Atchison, who claimed to be President for a day. This is, however, fully refuted on Snopes.
David Atchison, 1 day
I vote for your answer! Most clever answer if not correct

One could make counter arguments. Note: while the House of Representatives adjourns, the Senate recesses, but does not adjourn. 2/3 of the senators are still serving their uninterrupted terms, they have a quorum, even in adjournment. A point that Snopes missed.

On a more sombre note, I know who I would like it to be, but failing that I will not hazard a further guess! 
Good luck to everyone else!

That one crossed my mind and I threw it out as I figured saying you are in charge does not in fact make you president. I then went to GHW Bush when Reagan was under anesthesia.

That was our guess, but I bet Luanne got it.

I'm voting with Luanne
Dick Cheney - served as president twice (for a matter of hours each time) while Bush was under anesthesia during colonoscopies.
