The United States presidential line of succession
There are 17 people in the succession list. The possibilitity that none of them would be qualified to be president is so remote that it has not been considered. If all of the cabinet were foreign born, somebody would surely notice and Congress would add to the succession list. If not, the process for choosing a new vice-president would be hastened and he would immediately become President upon confirmation.
Succession doesn't happen unless the president dies. but to answer your question, the first four people after the president are: 1: Vice President, if he dies then: 2: Attourney General, if he dies then: 3: Speaker of the house of representatives, if they die: 4: Secretary of Defence of the initial president before people started dying
The Presidential line of succession starts out like this: Vice president Speaker of the House President pro tempore of the senate Secretary of State
"Succession of the President" is the order in which other people are to take that office if the President dies or is unable to perform the functions of the office.
if the president dies or leaves office, the vice president becomes president. Then the new president then chooses another vice president. Both the senate ant the house of representatives must approve of the choice. it also gives the vice president a role in determining whether a president is able to go back to work(Clarify the presidential line of succession.)
involved in what? you must complete your sentence or otherwise, people cannot answer it.

People say that the Vice President is "only a heartbeat away" from the presidency because the vice president is first in the order of succession. If the President's heart should stop beating, the Vice President takes over the office.If the president dies or otherwise become incapacitated, the vice-president becomes president.
