If the President of the United States dies or resigns who would become president?
Vice PresidentSpeaker of the House of RepresentativesPresident pro tempore of the SenateSecretary of StateSecretary of the TreasurySecretary of DefenseAttorney GeneralSecretary of the InteriorSecretary of AgricultureSecretary of CommerceSecretary of LaborSecretary of Health and Human ServicesSecretary of Housing and Urban DevelopmentSecretary of TransportationSecretary of EnergySecretary of EducationSecretary of Veterans AffairsSecretary of Homeland SecurityThe Vice President is first in the line of succession as per Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 and the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution. That same clause provided that "...the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President..." which they did in the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. That act made the Speaker of the House 2nd in line and the President pro tempore of the Senate 3rd in line. The rest of the line of succession goes through the Presidential Cabinet in the order in which each cabinet position was established (or the order in which the original department was established, e.g. Secretary of Defense is 4th within the cabinet positions because the original Department of War - which became the National Military Establishment, which then became the Department of Defense - was the 4th department established and the Department of Defense is its ultimate successor. The Secretary of Homeland Security is the last in line since it was the most recently established position.Note that anyone in the line of succession who would not be eligible to be elected President is also ineligible to succeed to the presidency. Two examples would be if the cabinet official was not a native born American or if they had already served two terms as President.
