Step-by-step explanation:
The Speaker of the House is by law second in
line to succeed the President, after the Vice
President, and 25th Amendment makes the
Speaker a part of the process announcing
presidential disability. Information on the
current Speaker, the Honorable Nancy Pelosi,
is available at the website of the Speaker of the
House.
THANKS!
