The remaining Survivor becomes President or remains President.
If both the president and vice-president die at the same time, the Speaker of the House becomes the President.
When Bush was president, the left liked to joke about "President Pelosi"--supposedly what would happen if both Bush and Cheney were impeached. That wouldn't have happened because in two scenarios:
One: Bush is impeached and removed. Cheney is elevated. His first act: appoint a vice president. When Cheney is then removed, his new VP becomes president.
Two: Cheney is impeached and removed. Bush appoints a new VP, who becomes president upon Bush's removal.
In either case we're looking at President Grover Norquist, not President Nancy Pelosi.

∙ 10y agoThe line of Presidential succession is formalized by acts of Congress, and currently runs from the President, to the Vice President, to the Speaker of the House, to the President pro tempore of the Senate, and then to the Secretaries of the Cabinet, in the order in which their departments were created, starting with Secretary of State.
Except for Vice-president, this order of succession was passed by Congress and could be changed by Congress
The most likely first step would to be to become a state governor, US Senator or
successful 5-star general. It would help to write a best-selling book and make some rich friends who are power brokers. A degree from an Ivy League school seems to help a lot in finding the rich powerful friends.
