If one or both cannot serve because they are temporarilyincapacitated, the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution prescribes who will become the Acting President. If the president and vice president are permanently removed because of death, resignation, etc., then the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the President of the United States as prescribed by the Constitution of the United States and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947.
The Speaker of The House would then be in charge. If this happened today it would be Nancy Pelosi.
The Speaker of the House is third in line to the presidency. Now, in 2011, it is John Boener of Ohio. (Boener is pronounced as Bayner).
Under the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Failing him, then the President Pro-Tem of the Senate, followed by the Cabinet heads in the order their departments were set up.
Secretary of State
The Speaker of the House is in line after the vice president to serve as president. At this time John Boener of Ohio would serve as president if the president and vice president could not serve.
If the vice president cannot serve, the line of succession falls to the speaker of the House, then to the Senate president pro tempore, then to Cabinet members.
The next succeeding position that would become the commander in chief would be the Speaker of the house.
