To: Defiant; Bob Ireland

I think Speaker is 4th in line. President Pro Tempore of the Senate is 3rd.

The Speaker comes before the Senator Pro Teum

From WikiPedia:

The succession follows the order of vice president, Speaker of the House of Representatives, President pro tempore of the Senate, and then the heads of federal executive departments who form the Cabinet of the United States-Secretary of State, Sect. of Treasury, Sect. of defense are the first 3.

In case someone hasn’t told you yet, The succession follows the order of vice president, Speaker of the House of Representatives, President pro tempore of the Senate, and then the heads of federal executive departments who form the Cabinet of the United States.
