She flies commercial for personal and political travel. She is flying on our pursestrings back and forth between coasts. If it was sooooo important she would be flying at our expense for everything. The security should not be excessive for the speaker. We have an orderly succession set up and it really does not matter who follows... Prior to the ratification of the 25th Amendment in 1967, there was no provision for filling a vacancy in the vice presidency. When a president died in office, the vice president succeeded him, and the vice presidency then remained vacant. The first vice president to take office under the new procedure was Gerald Ford, who was nominated by Nixon on Oct. 12, 1973, and confirmed by Congress the following Dec. 6. * The Vice President Dick Cheney * Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi * President pro tempore of the Senate1 Ted Stevens * Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice * Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson * Secretary of Defense Robert Gates * Attorney General Alberto Gonzales * Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne * Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns * Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez2 * Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao3 * Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt * Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson * Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters * Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman * Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings * Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson * Secretary of Homeland Security4 Michael Chertoff Pelosi is one heartbeat and one pacemaker away from the presidency. The security she would need to fly commercial would be killer high
