Question 24 • EA Academy Civics 9

Who is next in line to become president if both the president and the vice president can no longer do their duty?

Answer
A
the attorney general
B
the secretary of state
C
the Speaker of the House
D
the president pro tempore

Explanation

If both the president and vice president are unable to serve, the next person in the presidential line of succession is the Speaker of the House. The president pro tempore comes after the Speaker, followed by Cabinet members such as the secretary of state and attorney general. So the correct choice is the Speaker of the House.
