In the United States, the idea behind the Speaker of the House of Representatives, being third in line if the president & vice president becomes disabled or for other reasons, is a logical one.

This is so as the Speaker represents the political party that the people have elected by party in the House. The Speaker is chosen by the House members. By having this system in place, the new chief executive is the person most voters have designated to lead. It's true that the people may believe another member of the House should be president, however, the current system is the most orderly, logical and the fairest.
