Isn't Sec-Def in line after the VP?

Also, what is assination?

Double post edit.

Why do you assume the succession goes so quickly to the military (the Navy in particular)?

The United States Code has the current official list:

(1)If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is no President pro tempore to act as President under subsection (b) of this section, then the officer of the United States who is highest on the following list, and who is not under disability to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President shall act as President: Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Secretary of Transportation, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Education, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Secretary of Homeland Security.

Note: the Speaker of the house, who is currently a Republican, is right after the VP

I think it's the act of governance when A Democrat presents his bare, defenseless ass to a republican when he wants to pass a popular or unpopular bill regardless of the circumstance, or when he lost an election due to fraud, or when his constituency wants him to represent their best interests, or when money is being handed out and his pockets are already full.

More topical question: who's in line to succeed the secretary of state if they die?

This website has a current list.

So if one of them dies, does everybody on that list bump up to a new job? Where's the cut off for that?

Okaloosa County's Dog Catcher, who assumes the role of the guy who makes coffee for the Joint Chiefs' butler.

We simply allow the wild dogs to take over, and then a few years later the Air Force firebombs and sterilizes the whole mess.

The highest person on the list becomes President and then is responsible for filling in the rest of the list as soon as possible.

I'll take "Things That Can Be Easily Googled" for 200, Alex.

Google's the Devil's work. It should have been outlawed after it gave Disney permission to sell Star Wars to the Chinese.

sorry i don't know about it.

Assignation.*

He means assassination.

Also, he obviously has never heard of Google or Wikipedia.

Assangeination*


The nation established when the Wikileaks revolution comes.

In our country it's the head of Parliament, the one part of it, and then the head of the other part of parliament. and it did actually happen here two years ago.

I think people are ignoring the real problem here: If John Boehner wanted to, he could plot the assassination of Obama and Biden and become the new President. Dear God....

who's that anyway?

His long lost twin brother Special Agent Jack Boehner would foil his scheme.
