If the President of the United States dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the Vice President automatically becomes President. If the Vice President is also unable to serve, the Speaker of the Housethen becomes President. After the Speaker, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and then the heads of the cabinet departments in order of their agencies’ creation would follow in the line of succession.
Here’s the breakdown of the current presidential line of succession (along with links to unsavory articles about 99% of them):
- Vice President: JD Vance 🤢 (I don’t have the bandwidth to list everything I despise about this man, just google his ass)
- Speaker of the House of Representatives: Mike Johnson 🤢 (said California Governor Newsom should be ‘tarred and feathered’ for his opposition of Trump sending the National Guard and Marines to LA during the ICE protests)
- President Pro Tempore of the Senate: Chuck Grassley 🤢 (he’s in his fucking 90s!)
- Secretary of State: Marco Rubio 🤢
- Secretary of the Treasury: Scott Bessent 🤢 (gay and married and had children through a surrogate, yet has not said one word about Trump’s anti-gay and anti-women’s reproductive rights agenda)
- Secretary of Defense: Pete Hegseth 🤢
- Attorney General: Pam Bondi 🤢
- Secretary of the Interior: Doug Burgum 🤢 (he wants to drill oil on protected lands and doesn’t consider climate change an ‘existential threat’)
- Secretary of Agriculture: Brooke Rollins 🤢
- Secretary of Commerce: Howard Lutnick 🤢 (said the ridiculously high tariffs on foreign countries won’t matter ‘if you build in America and produce your product in America’ and his flabbers were gasted when congresswoman Madeleine Dean said, ‘We cannot build bananas in America’)
- Secretary of Labor: Lori Chavez-DeRemer (A pro-union republican? Isn’t that an oxymoron?)
- Secretary of Health and Human Services: Robert F. Kennedy 🤢 (an anti-vaxxer in charge of America’s health!)
- Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Scott Turner (I searched everywhere for a negative article about this man, but his only fault is that he used to play in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers 😆)
- Secretary of Transportation: Sean Duffy 🤢 (a frat boy from MTV’s The Real World: Boston. True story!)
- Secretary of Energy: Chris Wright 🤢 (doesn’t believe in renewable energy, and continues to push the use of coal, oil and gas)
- Secretary of Education: Linda Mcmahon 🤢 (wants to privatize public schools)
- Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Doug Collins 🤢 (plans to cut 80,000 jobs at the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. My dad and uncles are veterans, and it already takes forever for their claims to go through. How is cutting 80k jobs from the VA workforce gonna help that???)
- Secretary of Homeland Security: Kristi Noem 🤢 (I can’t fucking stand this woman and her ICE commercials. If the 17 people before her die, and she’s appointed president, we’re cooked)
God help America 🇺🇸
