If the president becomes incompetent, then the vice president would take over and hire a new VP. Then, if the original VP becomes incapable, the new, hired, VP would become president. However, if both the original president and the original vice president become incapable before the original vp has a chance to hire a new VP, the speaker of the house becomes VP.

The Presidential Succession Act of 1947, signed through President Harry Truman, replaced the succession order to what that's right now -- the vp, then Speaker of the living house, then Senate president professional tempore, then the cupboard individuals ordered in accordance to the date their places of artwork were regularly taking place.

The House of Representatives is 3rd in line to be president, after the actual president and the vice-president. And come January, that will no longer be Dennis Hastert. That will be Nancy Pelosi.

Nancy Pelosi... A big mistake, democrats are just a bunch of hypocrites, they don't stand up for the rights of people so why vote for them?... It's best to let the republicans finish what they were doing, at least we know were republicans stand... Some day we might be able to start over again with a party that protects everyone's rights.
