That’s gotta be the most frightening hierarchical structure I’ve ever seen.

He’s more qualified than any of the three above him, but that’s not a very high bar.

Crap, nothing more sobering than looking at that succession list. Absolutely void of anyone that would seem right to lead this country.

Also, I’m amazed over what Secretary has priority over others. The leader of the HHS would be POTUS before the leader of the Homeland Security (that’s not an endorsement of either person).
