Best Answer

The President Pro Tempore of the U.S. Senate is third in line to become President of the United States. The current President, the Vice President, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives would have to die or become otherwise incapacitated before the President Pro Tempore would become the U.S. president. Currently the office of President Pro Tempore is held by Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. He was sworn in on June 28, 2010 following the death of Robert Byrd.
