Next in line after the VP is the Speaker of the House.
The Presidency goes to the Vice President. If the VP dies, Presidency passes to the Speaker of the House.
The VP becomes president whenever the president dies or resigns. If the president is temporarily unable to discharge his duties, the VP can temporarily be authorized to act as president.
The Vice President.. If The VP dies then the next higher up rank takes his place
The new President will nominate a new Vice President. After being approved by the US Senate, the nominee becomes the new VP.
IF the VP dies the president would still be the president
If the VP dies first, the president would choose a new VP. If the president dies first,. the VP would become president and then would choose a new VP. If the president and VP both die at the same time, the Speaker of the House would become president and then he would choose a new VP.
The speaker of the House becomes the Vice President.
The President pro tempore of the Senate becomes the President. He/she is the leader of the Senate when the vice president can not attend. If him/her dies also then the Secretary of State becomes President.
The President appoints a new VP with Congress's approval. If the President and VP were to both die or leave office suddenly, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes president and a new VP is appointed. The order of presidential succession goes: President VP Speaker of the House President Pro-tempore of the Senate Cabinet (by order of when the positions were established)
The VP, and if he dies, the Speaker of the House
When the President dies and the Vice become President he then picks a new Vice, and the cycle continues. Vice -> Pres ---------------------------------------- No, that's not how it works. First off the two never travel together so they can't be killed at the same time, but if the president dies the vice precident takes over and does not appoint a vice. The position remains open. If the vice then dies the next in command takes over. That would be the secretary of state. ---------------------------------------- Actually, after the president dies, the vice president becomes president, and if he dies, then the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE becomes the new president........ ---------------------------------------- To add to the correction, the first paragraph above is correct. The second paragraph (the first correction) is very, very wrong. First of all, the President and VP could easily die at the same time. They could be assassinated at the same function, a nuclear attack could kill both, etc. Secondly, if the President dies, the VP becomes President and appoints a new VP, who then is confirmed by a majority of both houses of Congress. It is only if both the President and the VP die at the same time, or the President dies and then the VP who became President dies before he has appointed a new VP, that the Speaker of the House becomes President. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the last guy was right, the president pro tempore becomes president after the speaker of the house...comes secretary of state, treasury, defense, attorney general, secretary of interior, agriculture, commerce, labor....finally a couple of people later it ends with the secretary of homeland security...
