Depends on who's left. The order of succession goes beyond white house staff and senate. etc.. Here's the order according to who's around now.... (Read the footnotes-- kinda interesting-- a few people were born outside the US so they are inelligble, and Homeland security is new to the succession chain)
The Vice President Richard Cheney
Speaker of the House John Dennis Hastert
President pro tempore of the Senate (1) Ted Stevens
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
Secretary of the Treasury John Snow
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
Secretary of the Interior (Vacant)
Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns
Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez (2)
Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao (3)
Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson
Secretary of Transportation Norman Yoshio Mineta
Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman
Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson
Secretary of Homeland Security (4) Michael Chertoff
NOTE: An official cannot succeed to the Presidency unless that person meets the Constitutional requirements.
1. The president pro tempore presides over the Senate when the vice president is absent. By tradition the position is held by the senior member of the majority party.
2. Carlos Gutierrez was born in Cuba and is ineligible.
3. Elaine Chao was born in Taiwan and is ineligible.
4. In late July 2005, the Senate passed a bill moving the Homeland Security secretary to number 8 on the list. The bill is awaiting House approval.
