History

Originally only the vice president was able to succeed the president in the case of death, resignation, or impeachment and removal of office by conviction. In 1841, two years after the constitution was in force, Congress passed the Presidential Succession Act of 1841 which established an official line of succession. The line of succession included the Speaker of the House of Representatives as second in line and the Senate Vice President as third in line. In 1874, Congress passed the Presidential Succession Act of 1874 which included the Secretaries in the order of which their respective departments were created. It also included that any departments created subsequent to the passage of that bill that departments secretary shall be added to the line of succession. Since then, Congress has not made any changes to the presidential line of succession.
