If the Vice President cannot succeed the President of the United States, the next in line is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Following the Speaker, the President pro tempore of the Senate and then the members of the Cabinet, in the order of their departments' creation, would follow in the presidential line of succession. This line of succession is established by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947.
