The office of the president should pass to the governors, in the order that their respective states joined the union, or in the case of the original 13, ratified the Constitution.

Even if it wasn't in the line of succession, Congress could just make a law putting him in the line of succession, and he could act as president.

The Congress should just make a law that says if the line of succession is exhausted, the House and Senate pick the president jointly.

I do not believe it is constitutional to put the Speaker or PPT in the line of succession.

That said, I am not convinced it would be constitutional to put governors in the line of succession either.

Since it's in the 25th amendment, it is constitutional.

What? It's not in the 25th amendment.
