Do you know that presidential line of succession? I knew Vance and then Johnson but couldn't remember which office came next. It is President Pro Tem of the Senate . That is currently 91yo Chuck Grassley. Wish I had not checked. The rest of the line is just as bad.

1. You're right. The Presdent Pro Tem of the Senate s fourth...

line of succession. But thank God the 1-year-old Grassley has little chance of succeeding the nearly 80-year-old trump.

All four are such poor choices. God.

4. The U.S. Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 outline the presidential order of succession. The line

of succession of cabinet officers is in the order of their agencies’ creation.
