I would assume that he would get all the perks and the historic mention although it would always be accompanied by the footnote noting the shortness of his service.

William Henry Harrison served very shortly as president although his term was cut short by his death so the question about perks stopped right at the end of his life. 32 days in office wow.
It's hardly pointless - it was a hypothetical, the point of which is to create a discussion. Doesn't have to be a productive discussion, either.
I agree, though. Pence would be the 46th US President, get his picture up, the library, and all the rest of it. I know there's an upper limit of ten years for being President, I was wondering if there was a lower limit.

Edit: Harrison wouldn’t apply, since there were no post-Presidential perks available at the time of his death.
