Alain Poher, who died on this date in 1996, twenty-five years ago, was twice interim president of France, from April 28th to June 20th, 1969, after Charles De Gaulle resigned, and from April 2nd to May 27th, 1974, after Georges Pompidou died in office, for a total of 109 days by my count. He's credited with instituting the political neutrality of France's state-owned radio and television networks. Source.
