Who Is Next? Order of Succession
The Correct Order of Succession
The correct order of the first six people in the order of succession is as follows:
1. Donald Trump: The former President of the United States is first in line.
2. Mike Pence: Former Vice President of the United States comes next in the succession order.
3. Nancy Pelosi: The Speaker of the House of Representatives is third in line for succession.
4. Chuck Grassley: The President pro tempore of the Senate is the fourth in line for succession.
5. Mike Pompeo: Former Secretary of State comes fifth in the order of succession.
6. Steve Mnuchin: The former Secretary of the Treasury is the last in the first six people in the order of succession.
This order is crucial in determining who would assume the presidency in the event of the President's inability to serve.
