Not gonna happen.

The first in line would be the speaker of the house.

Then Senate leader.

What you are talking about is the line of secession. What I am talking about is the resignation of the VP. When the VP resigns the president may appoint anyone he chooses to replace the resigning VP. They are then confirmed, I think by a vote of congress. That is how Ford became VP to Nixon after Agnew.
