However, I don't feel that the line of succession is an accurate description of the list, since those on the list are not necessarily considered presidential hopefuls. The list exists just in case we find ourselves with no President and no Vice President, which is far less likely since the ratification of the 25th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which provides for the filling of Vice-Presidential vacancies.
