I missed #2, not thinking I put 1776.
100% I think it was too simple, but then again it's MSNBC.
It could be worse. Until the early 70s the Secretary of State was third in line, but they had to change tha because Henry Kissinger was born in Germany. Otherwise, we would be looking at Hillary as #3.16. If both the President and Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President? Correct
The Speaker of the House
I wish I was wrong, that is a SCARY thought.
