With Biden ousted also, without having got a VP confirmed, the next guy on the list is ... John Boehner, Mr. Speaker. Unpopular as he is around here, he is far and away the best qualified on the list:
- The Vice President Joseph Biden
- Speaker of the House John Boehner
- President pro tempore of the Senate1 Patrick Leahy
- Secretary of State John Kerry
- Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew
- Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel
- Attorney General Eric Holder
- Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel
- Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack
- Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker
- Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez
- Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Mathews Burwell
- Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan
- Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx
- Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz
- Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
- Secretary of Veterans Affairs Sloan Gibson (acting)
- Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson
NOTE: An official cannot succeed to the Presidency unless that person meets the Constitutional requirements.1. The president pro tempore presides over the Senate when the vice president is absent. The president pro tempore is elected by the Senate, but by tradition the position is held by the senior member of the majority party.
Ugh. Ok, you think theyre going to watch an impeachment and act like a bunch of republicans and not have a replacement for Biden and let the republicans put their guy in?
