The Secretary of Treasury is fifth in line.
You have to be appointed directly by the president. You also need to be qualified or congress won't give you the job.
The fifth person in line to become President is the Secretary of the Treasury; following the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and the Secretary of State.
There is nothing that would prevent a Catholic from holding a cabinet level office, or even president, in the United States.
Next in line after VP is Speaker of the House. Then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, then Secretary of State, then Secretary of Treasury, then Secretary of Defense, then Attorney General, then Secretary of the Interior, then Secretary of Agriculture, then Acting Secretary of Commerce, then Secretary of Labor, then Secretary of Health and Human Services, then Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, then Secretary of Transportation, then Secretary of Energy, then Secretary of Education, then Secretary of Veterans Affairs, then Secretary of Homeland Security.
The Secretary of Defense (as long as they would be eligible to be elected President).
If she were already President, then her Vice President would become president. If you are asking who is next in the line of succession following the Secretary of State, see below: Following the normal line of succession (adopted by Congress in 1947) and assuming that the office positions were vacated due to death during a current presidential term, the succession to the oval office would be: # President # Vice President # Speaker of the House # President Pro-Tempore of the Senate # Secretary of State # Secretary of the Treasury # Secretary of Defense # Attorney General If the line of succession indeed got to the Secretary of State, and that person became incapacitated and could no longer serve as President, then the next inline would be the Secretary of the Treasury - assuming that a Vice President had not yet been appointed. If a new VP had been appointed, then the VP would become President. See the link below for the current list for the office terms of 2004 - 2008:
