Erika Kirk endorsed Vice President JD Vance for president, vowing to throw one of the most influential conservative organizations in the country behind Vance in 2028.
the Presidential Succession act states that anyone in the line of succession must also be eligible to be President, otherwise they are skipped. There have been non-native-born Cabinet secretaries who were not in the line of succession for that reason.
there is no 30 day waiting period, although the act states that anyone who has to become President due to this must resign their current position in government before becoming President
that person would gain the title of “Acting President”. The act doesn’t really explain what the difference is between “President” and “Acting President”.
None of this matters because Donald Trump does whatever the fuck he wants, without consequences, somehow.
