I don't expect Khatami to resign, however, what would happen if he did? What is the line of succession and would that result in turmoil?

I ask because it seems like an easy answer, but I wonder if the result would actually mean change or more of the same?

Don't actually know about "line of succession", but I can't imagine it would cause turmoil. Not like the President really does anything except make speeches. He's just the puppet of Khameini. The next person in line would be a puppet also. Same puppetmaster.
