Hello Norwaypine2~

If both the President and Vice President die, or choose to resign, or
are impeached, the Speaker of the Congress becomes Acting President.
In such a case, Congress must elect a President and Vice President
within a month. If the Speaker of Congress position is empty for some
reason, or if he or she died or resigns within the 30 days, the Vice
Speaker will become Acting President.
