Answer:

The Speaker of the House

Step-by-step explanation:

If a vice president is unable to serve as president, the Speaker of the House of Representatives (as of now, this would be Mrs. Pelosi) would take over as president.

The speaker is second in the current line of succession for the United States.

Hope this helps.
