The person next in line to assume the Presidency if the President and Vice President die on the same day is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. That's a no-brainer. I've learned that in my civics class back in high school!

The speaker of the house would take over until there was another election. The Speaker of the house does not serve the rest of the term he is only the president while a special election is being run to find a new president.

The Senate President will take over the Position of the President and Vice President if they die simultaneously. This succession is provided for in the constitution.

Speaker of the house. Then Sec of State, Treasury, Defence. Then Attorney General. I may have remembered that wrong but Speaker of the house is definitely 3rd in line.

There is a long chain of command, about twenty to thirty people who would take over until an election could be called.

Right now - it would be Dennis Hastert, the rather rotund, not-so-cheerful Speaker of the House. What a horrible thought - President Hastert!!!
