The President would be he isn't the one who died

Answer

The president...unless the president died as well. If both the

president and vice president were unable to hold office, then the

speaker of the house of representatives would take over as stated in

the Presidential Line of Succession.

United States presidential line of succession is as follows and is written in the US Constitution:

OFFICECurrent Person

1Vice PresidentJoe Biden2Speaker of the House of RepresentativesNancy Pelosi3President pro tempore of the SenateRobert Byrd4Secretary of StateHillary Clinton5Secretary of the TreasuryTimothy Geithner6Secretary of DefenseRobert Gates7Attorney GeneralEric Holder8Secretary of the InteriorKen Salazar9Secretary of AgricultureTom Vilsack10Secretary of CommerceGary Locke11Secretary of LaborHilda Solis12Secretary of Health and Human ServicesKathleen Sebelius13Secretary of HUDShaun Donovan14Secretary of TransportationRay LaHood15Secretary of EnergySteven Chu16Secretary of EducationArne Duncan17Secretary of Veterans AffairsEric Shinseki18Secretary of Homeland SecurityJanet Napolitano

Gates and LaHood are Republicans.

Shinseki is an independent.

The rest are Democrats.

Technically - the US Constitution has a line of succession that is about 1,500 people!!!
