There is none; the Secretary of Homeland Security is last (18th) in the presidential line of succession. As of now, the Secretaries of Commerce and Labor are not natural-born citizens of the United States, and therefore would be ineligible to succeed the presidency. That would move the Secretary of Homeland Security to 16th in line. The power returns to the people of the United States.. us
