Can't be VP if can't be President.Ah, but what would happen if a 2-term president became Speaker of the House, and the president (or vice president) resigned?

This issue came up when Henry Kissinger became Sec. of State under Nixon. Kissinger was not a natural born citizen, yet he was high on the food chain of succession.

The presidency would have to skip over that Speaker to the third in line (after the VP and Speaker).

After Vice-President would be president pro temp of the Senate then Secretary of State. It's the same as when Albright and Kissenger were Secretary of State, they were removed from the line of succession as well.

The rule still holds. Can’t be VP if can’t be President. Just because you’re in line doesn’t mean you’ll be allowed thru the door.
