Now that is a genuine horrifying thought.

Certainly not a concern. It's never happened before that the Speaker became POTUS. Someone is watching too many Hollyweird disaster scenarios.

Or just randomly wishing.

actually, you're wrong.


President Gerald Ford was Speaker of the House when Nixon resigned. Nixon's VP Spiro Agnew had already resigned and did not have a VP during that period.

Not quite how it happened. Ford was nominated to VP and confirmed in late 1973 and ascended to POTUS with Nixons resignation in August 1974.

So a Speaker has never immediately ascended to the POTUS position.

In today's world that would be like Pence resigning and Trump appointing a replacement, which obviously wouldn't be Pelosi.

So I stand my statement that there is no major concern based on precedent alone.

Keep Trump and Pence out of Pittsburg. That's a violent city since he became President. Lot of random killings by Trump nut cases, They might turn on him

looks like I was wrong about what position Ford was in. Ford was Minority Leader, not Speaker.


so you are correct that no speaker has ever become president.
