Are we sure Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry is on presidential line? Would he be president if something happen to Biden and Harris? Andreasfroby ( talk) 21:32, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

See Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution#Interaction with the Twenty-second Amendment.
That says: "The Twelfth Amendment explicitly states the constitutional requirements as provided for the president also apply to being vice president and the Twenty-second Amendment bars a two-term president from being elected to a third term, but it is unexplicit whether these amendments together bar any two-term president from later serving as vice president as well as from succeeding to the presidency from any point in the United States presidential line of succession." (my emphasis)
I quickly scanned this article but could not find where or if this aspect is discussed. If it isn't, I think it should.
Could a twice-President (say Obama or Bush) become Speaker of the House (or, say, Secretary of Veterans Affairs for that matter) and through circumstances serve as president even though he clearly is ineligible for being elected to the presidency?
(Obviously I don't expect a clear answer. I'm suggesting this aspect be discussed if not already)

I believe that the table "Presidential succession by vice presidents" could be improved by adding a color bar for the (ex-)President's party. (As was added to the table of next-in-lines.) It would make it easier to spot the times when a party switch occurred. WHPratt ( talk) 14:51, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
