Brazil?
Don't put us in the middle of this dirty sh*it, girl.
Do you think Brazil is the only place where criminals get impune? So why don't you give the terrorist Luis Posada Carriles to Cuba or Venezuela?
Yes, you know who I'm talking about. Luis Posada Carriles, a terrorist, protected by the US!

Then, yes, unfortunately Nancy Pelosi would become President of the United States. There's actually a long line of people in case the president dies. It is:
Vice President
Speaker of the House
President Pro Tempore of the Senate
Secretary of State
Secretary of the Treasury
Secretary of Defense
Attorney General
Secretary of the Interior
Secretary of Agriculture
Secretary of Commerce
Secretary of Labor
Secretary of Health and Human Services
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Secretary of Transportation
Secretary of Energy
Secretary of Education
Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Then again, if we ever got past the fourth or fifth spot on the list, the country would probably be in pretty bad shape and having a president probably wouldn't really matter all that much.

Too many if's. What would have to happen is that Bush would have to step down first, for whatever reason, and Cheney would then ascend to the presidency. If Cheney were to die from whatever reason before he was able to appoint or have appointed a new vice-president, then Nancy Pelosi would become our President. Sounds good to me.

Yes, in that case the vice president and president would be incapacitated. In accordance with the Constitution's order of succession, the Speaker of the House (Ms. Pelosi) would become acting president.

No, because President George W. Bush is still in D.C.

That's right. She's the new Sphincter of the House. I'm sorry, I meant to say Speaker but the other just slipped on out.
