Am I right in assuming that if Biden dies(as President) and because Kamala Harris isn't eligible to be President is the House Speaker(MJ) next in line and therefore becomes the next President?

Article 2....
Section 1....
Clause 6....
In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
Ask this clause states is:
VP takes over as president
if both are removed, Congress can designate who the acting president would be
Nothing about overriding eligibility for office.
Yes, but the part I was referring to, ""until the disability be removed,"", is a Congressional thing, and they can put it to a vote, Right???
