The Speaker is currently second (after the Vice President) in line to succeed to the U.S. presidency in the case of death or resignation of the President. The Speaker of the House ranks fifth in the United States order of precedence.
Tom Delay could become speaker if he had the votes.

Based on that, you or I could be elected president.
I would think DeLay has perhaps a 10% better chance than we two. ;)

Tom Delay could become speaker if he had the votes. My Siamese cat could become speaker if he had the votes, but he doesn't (either).
