Proposed revised line of Succession for president

Senate Changes Line of Succession - Yahoo! News
If the bill also passes the House, the order of those in line to assume the presidency if President Bush is unable to serve would be:

_Vice President Dick Cheney
_House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.

_Senate President Pro Tem Ted Stevens, R-Alaska

_Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
_Treasury Secretary John Snow
_Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld

_Attorney General Alberto Gonzales

_Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff
_Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton

_Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns
_Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez
_Labor Secretary Elaine Chao
_Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt
_Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson
_Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta

_Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman

_Education Secretary Margaret Spellings

_Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson

The Constitution, however, requires that the president be a natural-born citizen, so Gutierrez, born in Cuba, and Chao, born in Taiwan, would be ineligible.
