Presidential order of succession

Ask Yahoo! provides a quick civics lesson on the order of succession for President.

It’s been a long time since I learned about this and I would never have remembered the details. So it surprised me to re-learn that, after the fourth batter in the lineup, (President Pro-Tempore of the Senate), the job falls on the shoulders of appointees starting with the Secretary of State and finishing up with the “lesser” Secretaries.

That just bothers me…

    Are you planning something we shouldn’t know about?

    No, I’m too apathetic for that.

    Ditto that. Will be for quite some time, I’m sure.
