NY Daily News: Here's the presidential order of succession just in case

[brooklynite]

For no specific reason, here’s a reminder of the order of succession if President Trump — and any of his immediate successors — were to somehow leave office very soon.

1. Vice President Pence
2. House Speaker Paul Ryan
3. President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch
4. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
5. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
6. Defense Secretary James Mattis
7. Attorney General Jeff Sessions
8. Acting Secretary of the Interior Kevin Haugrud
9. Agriculture Secretary Michael Scuse
10. Commerce Secretary (vacant seat; nominee Wilbur Ross has not been confirmed by the Senate)
11. Acting Labor Secretary Ed Hugler (nominee Andy Puzder has not been confirmed)
12. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price
13. Acting Housing and Urban Development Secretary Craig Clemmensen (nominee Ben Carson has not been confirmed)
14. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao
15. Acting Energy Secretary Grace Bochenek (nominee Rick Perry has not been confirmed)
16. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos
17. Veteran Affairs Secretary David Shulkin
18. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly

1. Rogues Gallery. Impeach w/Democrat placed as VP.

2. Well, that's depressing...

I forgot about Hatch

3. Geez, looks like we're screwed no matter what happens

That is a laundry list of incompetence with a heavy dose of greed - monetarily and power.

4. #Frightening #Sad

5. EWWWWWWWW...

I know but just seeing it laid out there.

6. It never occurred to me before this moment in history that since the House initiates impeachment,

maybe having the Speaker of the House as #3 is in itself a conflict of interest. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the president of the senate as #3, or the senate to initiate impeachment?

Not that either one of those changes would be helpful right now.
