As Vice President at the time, Ford was next in line for the presidency according to the Presidential Succession Act. He was then confirmed by Congress to serve as the 38th President of the United States.
In the U.S., the next in line to the President is the Vice President. If neither the President nor the Vice President is able to serve, then the order of succession is Speaker of the House of Representatives, President Pro Tem of the Senate, and then the Cabinet secretaries, beginning with Secretary of State.

If both the president and the vice president can no longer serve, the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 dictates the line of succession. The Speaker of the House of Representatives would become the president, followed by the President pro tempore of the Senate, and then the members of the president's cabinet in a specific order. This ensures a clear line of succession in the event of the president and vice president's inability to serve.
