During the [[1988 United States presidential election
In order to assume the Vice Presidency in January 1989, Quayle was required to resign his seat in the Senate. In preparation for the pending vacancy, [[Governor of Indiana|Governor]] [[Robert D. Orr]] appointed four-term [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. Representative]] [[Dan Coats]] to fill Quayle's seat on December 12, 1988. Coats was a former aide to Quayle, whom he had succeeded as U.S. Representative for [[Indiana's 4th congressional district]] in 1981. Quayle eventually resigned his Senate seat on January 3, 1989, and Coats was immediately sworn into office.
