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 both the president and vice president die, the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the President of the United States. The new president nominates someone to become the new vice president, and he or she will assume the office of vice president after both houses of Congress confirm the nomination by a majority vote.
