The case for her being right:

1. There are three co-equal branches and she's at the top of her portion
2. She's third in the line of succession

Why she's wrong:

1. The entire congress is the branch that's equal, she still only gets one vote among 400+ congressmen and 100 Senators. She can control the agenda within the house but she can't do squat without the votes behind her. On the other hand, the President can veto all her hard work all by himself. And while she's at the top of the house, that is only half of the congress anyway.
2. If the order of succession is the yardstick, than VP is more important that Speaker of the House. He's President of the Senate and first in line for the Presidency.

She's top of half of her portion.

The big case for her being wrong is that she has NO SAY in confirming Trump's nominees.

She's been comfortably safe in her San Francisco district where she skates into office with 275,000 votes. She failed at her only statewide try for the Senate (Boxer beat her in the primary). Pelosi never tried again to compete for California's 13 million votes (in 2016).

It’s a bit off-topic, but the original line of succession was Vice President, then cabinet positions by date of establishment. It’s a real shame they changed that. Because the original way kept the three branches of government separate, just as the Founders intended.

[Repeal 16-17]

There are three co-equal branches and she's at the top of her portion.

She is at the top of half of a branch (she doesn't lead the Senate). President Trump leads all of the executive branch.

She's third in the line of succession.

You mean second. The President does not succeed himself. Also, the Constitutionality of putting Congressional leaders in the Presidential line of succession is disputed.

but was she asked to point to the articles & section of the Constitution which back her claim?

“There are three co-equal branches and she’s at the top of her portion “

The branches are not co-equal. That’s a myth like separation of church and state or checks and balances. Not in the Constitution.
