The U. S. House of Representatives, whose presiding officer has the title of Speaker, does not have a Vice President; the office of the Majority Whip comes closest.

Under the Presidential succession act currently in force:

1. If the President and the Vice President resign, or if they otherwise cannot discharge the powers and duties of the office of the President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives is the next in line of succession.

2. If the Speaker, in turn, is unable to discharge those powers and duties, then the President pro tempore of the Senate is the next in line of succession.
