vice president
The Secretary of State is fourth in line following the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
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.
I think it may be the President pro tempore, as he is third in line if the President and the Vice President are killed or incapacitated.
Yes! The Vice President, the the Speaker of the House. This is the current line of succession: http://www.patriotstoolbox.org/america/presidentiallineofsuccession.htm
