The Secretary holds the most senior position in the Presidents Cabinet. If the President were to resign or die, the Secretary of State is fourth in line of succession after the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, and the President pro tempore of the Senate.There have been 71 Secretaries of State in the nations history. Three have been women and two have been African-Americans. In early American history, the position of Secretary was seen as a stepping stone to the Presidency. Six of the early Secretaries of State went on to become President. Secretaries of State have also typically been highly educated. Four had doctoral degrees, and four have won the Nobel Peace Prize. UniversalImagesGroupGetty ImagesThe United States has a determined hierarchy for the presidential line of succession. If the elected president dies, resigns, is temporarily incapacitated, or is removed from office, the office of the president passes to the vice president. But what happens next?What is the U.S. order of succession? The U.S. Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 detail the U.S. order of succession—what would happen if the president is incapacitated, dies, resigns, is unable to hold their office, or is removed from office. The president would be replaced in the following order:Vice PresidentSpeaker of the HousePresident Pro Tempore of the Senate (typically, the Senator with the longest tenure in the Senate)Secretary of StateSecretary of the TreasurySecretary of DefenseAttorney GeneralSecretary of the InteriorSecretary of AgricultureSecretary of CommerceSecretary of LaborSecretary of Health and Human ServicesSecretary of Housing and Urban DevelopmentSecretary of TransportationSecretary of EnergySecretary of EducationSecretary of Veterans AffairsSecretary of Homeland SecurityThe cabinet secretaries are listed in the order these departments were founded. For example, the Department of State has been around since 1790, when Thomas Jefferson was Secretary of State, but the Department of Veterans Affairs was founded in 1989. Has it ever been put into action?President Richard M. Nixon sits at a desk, holding papers, as he announces his resignation on television, August 8, 1974.Hulton ArchiveGetty ImagesYes, nine times in American history. Eight of those instances were due to the death of a president in office, and one (Richard Nixon) was due to a resignation. The eight presidents who died in office are, in chronological order: William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy. In addition, three vice presidents—George H. W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Kamala Harris—have temporarily assumed the powers of the presidency while the president is temporarily incapacitated due to a medical procedure.However, the offices of the president and vice president have never been simultaneously vacant, so the U.S. has never had to go further down the line of the succession. What is a designated survivor?While the U.S. Constitution does not directly call for a designated survivor, it has been common practice since the 1950s. In essence, when the entire Cabinet is gathered, one Cabinet member in the direct line of succession is not present—in case of a disaster, attack, or another unforeseen event. This typically is most noticeable during the State of the Union, when one Cabinet member is absent in an undisclosed location.What is the current order of succession?

Therefore, Bidens line of succession only has 16 members in it, instead of 18.
