The Speaker of the United House of Representatives would take charge if the President and Vice President would die. As of 2014, it would be John Boehner.
The Speaker of the House is chosen by election within the House of Representatives. If the Speaker should become President, a new Speaker would be elected byt he House members. As a practicle matter, this would be an election by the members of the Majority Party in the House of Representatives, along with those independents or third party members who might be caucusing with the Majority Party.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives is the next in line of succession. The Speaker of the House would be the next in line of succession until a new vice president is sworn into office.
Next in line is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. However, in actual practice if some scandal made both president and Veep want to resign, the Veep would resign first and a new veep would be appointed. Then the president would quit and the new Veep would become president. The only likely way the House Speaker would become president would be for the President and vice-president to both die suddenly at the same time or nearly the same time.
If the two die at the same time, the Speaker of the House of Representatives takes over the duties of the Presidency. If the President dies and the Vice President assumes the Presidency, he or she will choose someone to fill the position of Vice President, subject to majority approval by both Houses of the U.S. Congress. If the Vice President (who is now the President) would die before a new Vice President is approved, again, the Speaker of the House of Representatives would assume the duties.Two ways to remember this are:1. Since the Vice President is the President of the U.S. Senate (the President pro tempore of the Senate is a different position), next in the line of succession is the leader of the other Congressional House, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.2. Even though the President is ultimately selected by vote of the Electoral College, the electors are chosen through popular vote. The U.S. House of Representatives is structured to represent parts of the nation by population (the Senate structure grants each state two representatives, or Senators, regardless of population). So, the leader of the House that best represents the population and the population's wishes is the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
