The line of succession for the President of the United States

[gattaca]

I was curious about who would come after Pelosi if Biden and (for some reason) Harris are out. Holy Crap!!!! It's scary!!!!

Below is the current line of succession for the President of the United States:

1 Vice President Kamala Harris

2 Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi

3 President pro tempore of the Senate Patrick Leahy

4 Secretary of State Antony Blinken

5 Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen

6 Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin

7 Attorney General Merrick Garland

8 Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland

9 Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack

10 Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo

11 Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh

12 Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra

13 Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge

14 Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg

–Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm

15 Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona

16 Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough

– Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas

Granholm and Mayorkas are ineligible for the presidency because they aren't a natural born citizen

America’s worst. LOL natural born. Berrie O Bozo. Post birth abortions are sometimes necessary by any means. Billionaire Gate$ comes to mind.

Maybe we could make it all the way to #13. President Fudge sounds yummy. Plus, I’m sure it would result in some fun headlines.

[Tupelo]

I gotta say, there ain’t a singe one on that list, I would salute or even piss on if they were on fire.
Sorry for your brain damage looking that up.

IGNORING ELECTION FRAUD has consequences.

[P.O.E.]

I wouldn’t want President Fudge packing the court.

There. Fixed it for the case of Traitorjoe.

I wouldn’t want President Fudge packing the court.

It's been quite a while since I've seen a keyboard-ruining comment like that one.

Well played, and I'll spring for a new keyboard myself...

[ASA Vet]

Neither is Harris. That only matters the per the Constitution.

[Deplorable American1776]

I guess this is a new government - Dumbocracy, which is GOVERNMENT OF DUMB PEOPLE!!!

[Gay State Conservative]

There’s not a name on that list that isn’t owned by the Butchers of Beijing.

[Yo-Yo]

The only way that list gets used is if the Senate doesn’t approve replacements.

For example, if Biden resigns and Harris steps up, she will appoint a new Veep and once the Senate approves, that person will be second in line if Harris steps down.

It would be a Tom Clancy moment in order for us to have a President Fudge.

[tnlibertarian]

LOL!!

Things change after mid terms. Proven election fraud and resultant lawsuits which would put the DNC out of business force Harris to resign. Joe’s stepped down by then, so McCarthy moves to 1600 Penn.

Oh good lord! No one post a picture of that horror! Yummy? More like stomach inverting!

“Things change after mid terms. Proven election fraud and resultant lawsuits which would put the DNC out of business force Harris to resign. Joe's stepped down by then, so McCarthy moves to 1600 Penn.”

Under what scenario do you see McCarthy becoming President by order of succession?

[oldtech]

Sounds like a choice of mostly “the bad” or “worse yet”. The whole administration needs to be scrapped & a restart.

[bubbacluck]

I don’t see Designated Survivor on the list.

[Bloodandgravy]

I say make it Patrick Leahy, another propped up dotard worse than we have now.

The best answered would be a giant asteroid hitting the capitol while they are all there.
