What happens if the vice president and the president both die and the speaker is not born in the us?

To be a Speaker of the House, a person must be elected to the House of Representatives. One eligibility requirement for election to the House is that the person must be a citizen. So there can never be a Speaker of the House who is not a citizen of the United States. Someone who can be Speaker might not be elligible for the Presidency, for example f that person was a naturalized citizen, or not yet old enough to meet the Constitutional age requirement for the Presidency. In that case, the Speaker could not become President if both the President and Vice-President are unable to serve. The succession would skip the Speaker and devolve upon the President ProTempore of the Senate.
