In the U.S., the next in line to the President is the Vice President. If neither the President nor the Vice President is able to serve, then the order of succession is Speaker of the House of Representatives, President Pro Tem of the Senate, and then the Cabinet secretaries, beginning with Secretary of State.
Speaker of the House
In the US there is a line of succession should a president be unable to serve due to illness or death. The next in line to serve as president is the Vice President. This was seen when President Nixon resigned and Vice president Ford became president. Should a vice president be unable to serve, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the new president.
The Speaker of the House is next in succession. However, note that the House Speaker would become president only if the President and vice-president died within a very short time period. Ordinarily, the one who died would be replaced.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, currently Nancy Pelosi.
In a case where both the president and vice president fail to complete a term as president, the Speaker of the House would take their place. This has not yet happened in the history of the United States.
