What act put the presidential line of succession in place?

Technically, it was not an act, but rather the U.S. Constitution. Presidential succession may occur under various circumstances, but the presidential line of succession you are referring to is authorized via Article II, Section 1, Clause 6. Although commonly misunderstood, those listed in the succession statute are merely potential presidential successors, and not actual successors. That is, the list may contain anybody Congress may desire to list, but not everyone is eligible. First, they must meet the entitled qualification. Second, they must be on the list. Third, they must meet all the requirements. For example, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate are both potential presidential successors, but both fail to qualify as eligible successors because they cannot take the required Oath of Office as Members of Congress (Article I, Section 6, Clause 2). If they were to resign from Congress, they would then be ineligible because they are (1) no longer on the succession list (i.e., former Speaker or former President pro tempore are not on the list of successors) and (2) if they were officers as Members of Congress, they are certainly no longer officers as former Members of Congress. Therefore, they fail to qualify as an Officer. In short, no matter what any officer of Congress opts to do, resign or not resign, they are ineligible although they may be included in any potential list of successors. Timothy D. Nestved
