If you are asking about the Presidential succession list, The Secretary of State is next in line after the President pro tempore.
If the president pro tempore dies or resigns his office , a new pro tempore would be elected by the Senate. If a senator is too sick to serve but does not resign, nothing is done.

∙ 14y agoOfficially speaking, the Vice-President presides over the Senate, and if the Vice-President cannot (or, more typically, chooses not) to do so then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate presides. In actual practice, the Vice-President seldom actually performs this duty except on special occasions, and the President Pro Tem (who is, by custom, chosen from among the most senior members of the majority party in the Senate) is fairly likely to designate a junior Senator as "acting President pro Tem."
The person presiding over the Senate mainly fills a ceremonial and administrative function, as opposed to the person acting as Speaker of the House of Representatives, who has much more latitude to affect the proceedings.
