Denny it is. I misspoke. That's what you get for listening to a TV newscaster.

Chapter 11: Presidential Succession

What is the line of succession to the Presidency if a President dies, is removed, or resigns
mid-term? What if someone in that line does not meet the Constitutional requirements for
the office, such as being a natural born citizen of the United States? And how are vacancies
in the office of Vice-President handled?

The Vice-President is named successor by the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. After the V-P,
Congress fixes the order of succession. The present law which governs the order is the Presidential
Succession Act of 1947. To bring it close to home, here is the mandated order if the unthinkable
were to happen:

(1) Vice-President
(2) Speaker of the House
(3) President pro Tempore of the Senate
(4) Secretary of State
(5) Secretary of the Treasury
(6) Secretary of Defense
(7) Attorney General
(8) Secretary of the Interior
(9) Secretary of Agriculture
(10) Secretary of Commerce
(11) Secretary of Labor
(12) Secretary of Health and Human Services
(13) Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
(14) Secretary of Transportation
(15) Secretary of Energy
(16) Secretary of Education
(17) Secretary for Veteran's Affairs
