There is a line of succession to the Presidency, so that if the President and the Vice President die, someone can succeed to the Presidency. After the Vice President, it would be the Speaker of the House, then the President pro tempore of the Senate, then the members of the Cabinet. The Secretary of State is the 4th in line to the Presidency; the Secretary of Homeland Security is 18th in line (as this department was the most recently created).
Because the Vice President, the entire House and Senate, the Supreme Court and the Cabinet all attend the State of the Union Address, one member of the Cabinet does not attend and instead becomes the "designated Survivor". The Designated Survivor is placed under maximum protection in another part of the country. This practice began during the Cold War, for obvious reasons.
