2. Webb's not in the line of sucession.

In other words, he won't be taking over.

5. Presidential Line of Succession ...

Edited on Tue Jan-23-07 08:16 PM by BattyDem

The original Constitution provides that if neither the President nor Vice President can serve, the Congress shall provide law stating who is next in line. Currently that law exists as 3 USC 19, a section of the U.S. Code. This law was established as part of the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. There, the following line of succession is provided:

* Speaker of the House of Representatives
* President Pro Tempore of the Senate
* 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 (not yet set by law)

Was Gonzo born here? If not, he can't be president anyway.

his grandparents were foreign born, not him.

11. We found out during FoleyGate that Hastert picked a list of successors

so Pelosi must have a similar list and whatever member of Congress is skipping the SOTU is probably on it so...

That person must be well ahead of Gonzales in the line of succession.

But it's fair to say most people don't know this stuff well. (Al Haig was mentioned.)
