What would happen in a country if the president is killed??

The president, the vice president and everyone who would normally become president if such thing happens are also killed?

Lets say everyone in the government period is killed? This incoudes all branches etc

We elect a new loser or we get to watch a cou on television.
Or we just make a temp prez of which ever political shit head is left standing..

And life just goes on....BIG BOWL OF MEH!

If Washington DC was nuked during a state of the union address, and all were killed. Government operations would transfer to the governor of each state. New representatives would be appointed, and they would appoint a temporary president until elections could be held.

I think that is what would happen.

Nobody knows, there aren't any laws relating to it and it's seems so unlikely that nobody really worries about it. As Shakya notes in reality that would have to be done by destroying all of Washington DC. If that happened the country would be in a state of war and the military would step in.

Not sure if this is still valid but wouldn't the Secretary of Defense take over temporarily?

Well in a pretty grim way it would give the US a chance to start things from scratch I think

we would have president biden. decent people would mourn...a portion of morally bankrupt fat old white men and women would celebrate, and history would go on. i think thats actually what would happen.

Chaos followed by a takeover by the military to ensure stability. Go from there.

If Obama was killed the astronomicon would go out and a major daemonic incursion would take place on Earth, resulting in all sentient life in the galaxy being destroyed.

Then woman inherits the Earth.

I think there would many many people trying to assume power. Governers, Secretary of Defence, Military, CIA. It would be civil war imo

no, actually the vice president would take office. its not hypothesis, thats what would happen.

High expectations always lead to suffering.

Assuming the military is still around and it's just the civilian federal government that's been taken out I can see many possibilities but the most likely ones are that a military junta is set up with absolute control or a military government is set up that delegates authority to state governments until a new federal government is set up.

its very possible, just bomb a city where they all meet.

Congressmen take vacations and go on tours all the time, ditto for Secretaries.

all levels of civilian government? like, mayors and the like?

except the mayors and state governments

I would be surprised if there was ever a point in the last century where every member of the federal government was in the same city at the same time.

then the mayors and state governments would assume the role of the federal government...
