Line of Succession

If a sitting President dies, becomes incapacitated, resigns or is impeached and removed from office, the Constitution provides for the Vice President to become the new President. After the Vice President, the Constitution leaves the question of succession to the Congress. By statute, the Congress has established the following line of succession:

1. Vice President
2. Speaker of the House of Representatives
3. President Pro Tempore of the Senate
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 and Human Services
13. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
14. Secretary of Transportation
15. Secretary of Energy
16. Secretary of Education
17. Secretary of Veterans Affairs

The persons holding these positions must be otherwise qualified to become President before succeeding to that office. For example, if both the President and the Vice President were removed from office (by death or some other means) and the Speaker of the House was less than 35 years of age, he or she would be bypassed and the next person on the list would become President.

If the person elected to be President dies before being sworn in, the 20th Amendment states that the successful Vice Presidential candidate, the President-elect's running mate, shall become President.
