Toussaintfreedom Says...

if a U.S. president cannot carry out the duties of the office, the responsibilities are passed to another government leader in a specific order.

The president of the United States may be replaced if he or she:

Becomes incapacitated
Dies
Resigns
Is unable to hold office
Is removed from office
The U.S. Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 outline the presidential order of succession.

The line of succession of cabinet officers is in the order of their agencies' creation.

Vice President
Speaker of the House
President Pro Tempore of the Senate
Secretary of State
Secretary of the Treasury
Secretary of Defense
Attorney General
Secretary of the Interior
Secretary of Agriculture
Secretary of Commerce
Secretary of Labor
Secretary of Health and Human Services
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Secretary of Transportation
Secretary of Energy
Secretary of Education
Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Secretary of Homeland Security
