Well it's a start at least, but like Patron, I'm from Missouri so far ... <ng> btw, got a chance to look up that order of succession, and it's not the Postmaster General after all ... I don't know how low you're going to have to go, but do check out footnote 4 ... <g> * The Vice President Richard Cheney * Speaker of the House John Dennis Hastert * President pro tempore of the Senate Ted Stevens - 1 * Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice * Secretary of the Treasury John Snow * Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld * Attorney General Alberto Gonzales * Secretary of the Interior Gale A. Norton * Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns * Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez - 2 * Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao - 3 * Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt * Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson * Secretary of Transportation Norman Yoshio Mineta * Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman * Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings * Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson * Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff - 4 NOTE: An official cannot succeed to the Presidency unless that person meets the Constitutional requirements. 1. The president pro tempore presides over the Senate when the vice president is absent. By tradition the position is held by the senior member of the majority party. 2. Carlos Gutierrez was born in Cuba and is ineligible. 3. Elaine Chao was born in Taiwan and is ineligible. 4. In late July 2005, the Senate passed a bill moving the Homeland Security secretary to number 8 on the list. The bill is awaiting House approval.
