Current order of succession

The table below details the current presidential order of succession as established by the 1947 presidential succession statute as amended.[1][2] The order is determined by the offices. However, the individual in an office must still satisfy the constitutional requirements for the office in order to serve as acting president.[3] In the table, the absence of a number in the first column indicates that the incumbent is ineligible, and an italicized number indicates that the incumbent’s eligibility is uncertain. In such cases, a note explains the detail.
