He said he was next in line as Speaker. The da forgot the VP is next in line.

And even then you have the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Temp of the Senate before the Secretary of State.

It could be one of those cases it’s not one of those emergencies yet. Maybe the want the VP at the White House in case SHTF somewhere else in the world or maybe in the United States.

I remember Haig took a load of grief for this. But I don't remember why.

  1. He was a Republican
  2. He was a General
  3. He worked for Reagan
The media made it into something it wasn't - same then as it is now.

ULtimately VPs go to funerals, but more directly, a passing supreme court justice would be a very big deal.

Aliens or Pence forgetting something are more likely answers.

General Haig was never Speaker! He as WH Chief of Staff.

Wrong. He was Secretary of State.

Al Haig had no authority to make such a claim.

He wasn’t even in charge of White House garbage collection. ;-)

The line of command did not go through Haig.

From Market Watch:

Vice President Mike Pence has been called back to Washington from a trip to New Hampshire, according to reports from a Boston NBC station and the New Hampshire Union Leader on Tuesday. The reason was unclear. Pence's spokeswoman, Alyssa Farah, tweeted that "something came up that required the @VP to remain in Washington, DC. It's no cause for alarm."

A. Haig -- "The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood."

____________

"a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood" --- sweet.

The line of succession was:
Vice President
Speaker of the House
Senate Pro Tem

then, Al Haig—so it looked like he was planning to bump off the VP, Speaker and Pro Tem in one decisive maneuver. ;-)
