Neither one would be eligible because Biden was chosen by Obama and elected as part of a team, and Pelosi was the one responsible for certifying the qualifications of Obama as eligible. That would leave Senator Byrd as next in line and after him is Hillary. Now you may start to shudder, but even Hillary is questionable considering she was chosen by Obama.

Have you read the Constitution lately? If BO were to resign then Biden would become President. Pelosi would then become Vice President until Biden had appointed someone.

* Speaker of the House of Representatives (Pelosi)
* President Pro Tempore of the Senate (Byrd)
* Secretary of State (PIAPS)

* Secretary of Commerce
* Secretary of Labor
* Secretary of Health and Human Services
* Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
* Secretary of Transportation
* Secretary of Energy

The only one in that list I might not be at vomit-level red with, is Gates...”might” not...
