.....but it would be good if the GOP had someone there who would be a legitimate Presidential candidate. Frist isn't that guy.

The Speaker of the House is next in the line of succession, but if the VEEP actually steps down, the Prez would appoint his replacement.

If Bush wants to LOSE a significant number of his conservative base...then he will name Frist...
BUT, I am PRAYING will all my heart that Cheney is well enough to finish with President Bush...

If he actually steps down, the President nominates whoever he wants, subject to confirmation by the Senate. He doesn't have to go by the precedence list.

Wowser (just kidding.)
Since this seems to be going around the internet with the same message and the same sources; I sure do hope we do not have a bunch of threads on FR with this rumor; otherwise we would look like the DU board.

There is no order of succession.
POTUS names VP, he is confirmed by a majority vote in the House and Senate.

What is the order of succession if the VP steps down?The president nominates a replacement, to be confirmed by the Senate.
That's how Gerald Ford replaced Spiro Agnew, and Nelson Rockefeller replaced Gerald Ford.
