That's presidential succession. The Speaker is not next in line if the VP resigns. The President gets to appoint the VP if Cheney resigns.
Unless; the President dies before the new VP can be sworn in; then the Speak will become the president. So I think comments are right; in their own way.

If that happened in this day and age, I'd think I was in the middle of a novel.
