who is in line to take Pelosi's place if she were to resign
Noteworthy events that took place today, the 4th of January include The Negro National League being organized, a 7.7 earthquake killed 15,000 people in China, and Nancy Pelosi became the first female Speaker of the House.One noteworthy thing in history on the 4th of January is when Nancy Pelosi was elected as the first female Speaker of the House in U.S. history in the year of 2007.
Yes. The US government provided a US Air Force 757 transport aircraft to ferry Nancy Pelosi from Washington DC to her home state of California and back, when she was Speaker of the House (2007 - 2011).

The leader of the House's majority party is normally elected to be the Speaker of the House. However, there is also a post for Majority Leader, who is usually the majority party's #2. Currently, the Speaker of the House is Democrat Nancy Pelosi, and the Majority Leader is Democrat Steny Hoyer.
During the first day of a new congress (i.e. 2009/2011/2013 etc) an election takes place in which each party nominates a member to be speaker of the house. The party with the majority of the votes has their candidate take the role of speaker of the house.
If the House Speaker would become president due to the sudden deaths of both the president and vice president, he would nominate a new vice president who after confirmation by Congress would take his place if he died. If he were to die before a new vice-president was confirmed, the new Speaker of the House would take his place.

The Speaker of the House is elected by the entire body and is always a member of the party with a majority of seats in the House. The leader of the Senate is the Vice President, chosen by the Electoral College when the Presidential Election takes place.
First in line is the Vice-President.
The Speaker of the House is the most powerful leader of the house. He or she decides which committees consider bills that are proposed, and he or she has the major influence on which bills come to the floor. The Speaker can vote on all matters, but to participate in debate, they have to appoint a temporary chairmen to take his place.
In the main room of the house by the fireplace is a place for newspapers. Examine it and Nancy will crumple it. Make sure you take two or three pieces of newspaper. Take it outside and place it in the fire pit.
I think what they have in place. The Vice President, speaker of the house, etc
