The correct answer is the Vice President.

The 25th amendment was passed shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The goal in this amendment is to establish a clear line of succession in the case of a president dying or becoming incapable of performing the duties and responsibilites that come with the presidency. This is one of the many reasons why the role of Vice President is important in American society.
