The Presidential Succession Act of 1947, signed by President Harry Truman, changed the order to what it is today. The cabinet members are ordered in the line of succession according to the date their offices were established.

Succession order:

* The Vice President Dick Cheney * Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi * President pro tempore of the Senate Robert Byrd * Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice * Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson * Secretary of Defense Robert Gates * Attorney General Michael Mukasey * Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne * Secretary of Agriculture Edward T. Schafer * Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez * Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao * Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt * Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Steven C. Preston * Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters * Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman * Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings * Secretary of Veterans Affairs James Peake * Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff An official cannot succeed to the Presidency unless that person meets the Constitutional requirements.

Carlos Gutierrez was born in Cuba and is ineligible. Elaine Chao was born in Taiwan and is ineligible.
