Lol...It'll take more than winning the house to move Nancy up."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession
The presidential line of succession defines who may become or act as President of the United States upon the incapacity, death, resignation, or removal from office (by impeachment and subsequent removal) of a sitting President or a President-elect.

This is a list of the current presidential line of succession, as specified by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947

1 Richard B. Cheney Vice President
2 J. Dennis Hastert Speaker of the House of Representatives
3 Ted Stevens President pro tempore of the Senate
