To add on to the other person's answer, the correct answer is, first and foremost, the Speaker of the House. There is a line of command that followes directly after the Speaker, but I cannot remember that part, however. the Speaker of the House. If the president is out of office there is first the Vice-President, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore, Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of Defense, and then Cabinet members as they were assigned
The Pro Tempore (the leader of the senate) takes over when the vice president is absent.
If the president and vice president were both killed in a short space of time, the Speaker of the House would be the president.
If the president dies the vice president is always next in line to become president.

The Vice President is President of the Senate and has the power to break a tie on votes in the Senate. The Vice President is also the successor to the Presidency if the President cannot continue serving in office. Vice Presidents have become more involved and more powerful in recent years. They serve as close advisers to the president and often bolster the presidents credentials because of their previous experience in government.
In the event of a vacancy in the presidency the vice president shall step in and perform the duties of the president. If the vice president is unable to hold this position then the next person in line would be the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
If the president cannot perform his duties for any reason the Vice President assumes the Presidency. If the Vice President cannot perform the Speaker of the House assumes the duties of the President
There has never been a president who has served a 16 year term. Presidents can only serve for 4 or 8 years. Franklin Roosevelt was the longest serving U.S. President at slightly over 12 years. The 22nd amendment, limiting presidential terms, was passed following his presidency, and most likely in direct response to it. It is possible for a president to serve as long 10 years even with the 22nd Amendment if he was serving as vice president and takes over for a predecessor who dies or is removed from office during the final two years of that term.
If a President dies and the Vice President takes over, the new President would appoint a vice president, authorized by the 25th amendment.
The Vice President.
The next in line for the presidency following the Vice President is the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Speaker of the House of Representatives. As of September 2008, this is Nancy Pelosi.
If the President dies and the Vice President takes over, the Vice President becomes the President. The Vice Presidency position would then be vacant and would need to be filled according to the constitutional process.
