| | The Chief Justice of the United States was excluded from the order of succession due to concerns about the separation of powers. | | | (2) During the period that any individual acts as President under this section, his compensation shall be at the rate then provided by law in the case of the President. | | | The 1947 act makes no provision for the highly unlikely event that all eligible persons on the succession list perish before one can be sworn in as Acting President. |

| | Such a constitutional amendment could eliminate other uncertainties in the succession mechanism, such as whether the confirmation of a Vice President nominated under the 25th Amendment operates to displace a statutory Acting President who made the nomination. | | | These officers should be permitted to exercise presidential duties without resigning their positions, and those officers higher on the list should be able to displace more junior successors only if they had been under a temporary disability at the time the more junior officer accepted presidential duties. | | | Professor Calabresi concurs with the Amars' constitutional arguments, but concludes that the issue is a classic political question and hence non-justiciable by an Article III court. |

| | The act as written also poses a risk of change in party control of the presidency should its provisions be triggered. | | | The current presidential succession act, 3 USC section 19, is in my view a disastrous statute, an accident waiting to happen. | | | For example, the act as currently written does not place anyone in the line of succession who is not based in the D.C. Metro area much of the time. |

| | No one knows if the current law would pass constitutional muster in the eyes of the courts; we wouldn't find out until such a succession actually took place and was legally challenged. | | | Partisan wrangling and constitutional uncertainty in the midst of a national-security crisis ought to be avoided at all costs -- except on TV. | | | Under such circumstances, the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 dictates that the speaker of the House becomes the acting president, regardless of whether the two leaders are from the same party (on The West Wing they're not). |
