As I said, it doesn't matter what the current statute says. Under the CONSTITUTION, which supersedes all statute, neither the Speaker nor the PPT are an "Officer of the USA", thus rendering the Sec of State as the next CONSTITUTIONALLY eligible officer on the succession order.
So, who is next in line after speaker of the house
Senate Pro Tem.
Sec of State. Pro Temp isn't an "Officer of the USA" and thus, not eligible to succeed.
Incorrect. Secretary of State comes after Senate Pro Tem.
