Speaker of the House. But that's only if the President and Vice president are assassinated or resign at the same time. If the Vice President resigns or dies, then Speaker of the House does not become Vice President. The president will appoint another Vice president.

The 20th and 25th Amendments establish procedures and requirements for the vice president to assume the duties and powers of the president if the president is permanently, or temporarily disabled. In the event of a temporary disability, the vice president serves as president until the president recovers. The president may declare the beginning and ending of his or her own disability. But, if the president is unable to communicate, the vice president and a majority of the presidential Cabinet, or “...other body as Congress may by law provide...” may determine the president’s state of disability. Should the president’s ability to serve be disputed, Congress decides. They must, within 21 days, and by a 2/3 vote of each house, determine whether the president is able to serve or not. Until they do, the vice president acts as president.
The 25th Amendment also provides a method for filling a vacated office of the vice president. The president must nominate a new vice president, who must be confirmed by a majority vote of both houses of Congress.
Beyond president and vice President
The Presidential Succession Law of 1947 addressed the simultaneous disability of both the president and vice president. Under this law, here are the offices and current office holders who would become president should both the president and vice president be disabled. Remember, to assume the presidency, a person must also meet all the legal requirements to serve as president.
1. Vice President of the United States
2. Speaker of the House
3. President pro Tempore of the Senate
Secretaries of the president's Cabinet now fill out the balance of list of succession:
4. Secretary of State
5. Secretary of the Treasury
6. Secretary of Defense
7. Attorney General
8. Secretary of the Interior
9. Secretary of Agriculture

I would hope the Senate would revoke the thought and move to adopt a few of their choices in the House and demand that the House elect from themselves another person other than Nancy Pelosi. They can u know.
