At present, the line of succession includes several officers which positions have been eliminated by the Fifth Constitution (speaker of the House, longest-tenured representative) or by executive decree (secretary of internal affairs, national archivist). This bill updates the line of succession to omit these now-obsolete references, leaving us with
[1. vice president]
2. ppt of the Senate
3. SoS
4. AG
5. SoFE
6. RG
7. longest-tenured senator
8. chief justice
as the revised line of succession. It also codifies the process by which an officer may decline the presidency to hopefully avoid any uncertainty about who is the rightful president in what would obviously be trying times for the nation.
