Yes! The Vice President, the the Speaker of the House. This is the current line of succession: http://www.patriotstoolbox.org/america/presidentiallineofsuccession.htm
Presidential succession is the order in which one person follows another chronologically in the Office of the President.
The order of Succession
No one: Everyone is dead. The question originally asked who becomes President if the President dies (the Vice President), and who becomes President if he subsequently dies (Speaker of the House), and so on (President pro tempore, then Secretary of State, other Cabinet secretaries, members of Congress, etc.). The complete Presidential line of succession is at the related link.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives is the next in line of succession. The Speaker of the House would be the next in line of succession until a new vice president is sworn into office.

When a president dies, it is important for someone to take his place. That should be the vice president. However, if an attack happened and the vice president dies with the president, there is a protocol for who gets the job next. That person has to have the nuclear launch codes and needs to take charge of the military. A president has a big job and someone needs to be our leader.
