Well we can go through the usual list as someone has to act as the leader of the Free World...well I know we don’t have the now either but...play along OK?

The Presidential Succession Law of 1947 addressed the simultaneous disability of both the president and vice president. Under this law, here are the offices and current office holders who would become president should both the president and vice president be disabled. Remember, to assume the presidency, a person must also meet all the legal requirements to serve as president.

1. Vice President of the United States
2. Speaker of the House
3. President pro Tempore of the Senate

Secretaries of the president’s Cabinet now fill out the balance of list of succession:

4. Secretary of State
5. Secretary of the Treasury
6. Secretary of Defense
7. Attorney General
8. Secretary of the Interior
9. Secretary of Agriculture
10. Secretary of Commerce
11. Secretary of Labor
12. Secretary of Health & Human Services
13. Secretary of Housing & Urban Development
14. Secretary of Transportation
15. Secretary of Energy
16. Secretary of Education
17. Secretary of Veterans’ Affairs
18. Secretary of Homeland Security

The chain of succession:
Biden, Pelosi, Byrd, Hillary

Might as well be
Dufus, Clueless, Witless, Sorceress.

No wonder there’s such a stonewall to proving zero’s eligibility; the alternatives are dismal.

Thanks, it’s not a pretty list is it.

On the other hand, as dreadful as it is to even contemplate, I’m beginning to think that even Herself, the Hildabeast would be preferable over Hussein Obammy Whammy The Big Hammy.
