Chat with our AI personalities
It's in the Constitution that the vice president takes over.
In the US there is a line of succession should a president be unable to serve due to illness or death. The next in line to serve as president is the Vice President. This was seen when President Nixon resigned and Vice president Ford became president. Should a vice president be unable to serve, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the new president.
The Chief of Staff is a position appointed by the President. If the elected President and Vice-President are unable to serve, the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes President and selects a Chief of Staff.
