United States News Title: Why this upcoming vote for Speaker of the house of Representatives is so very, very important? Why this upcoming vote for Speaker of the house of Representatives is so very, very important? Let's first look at the US Constitution, the Supreme Law of the United States of America. Article II. Section 4 Now let's look at the line of succession, in the event the President either dies or is removed from office. Order of Presidential Succession According to the Presidential Succession Act of 1792, the Senate president pro tempore1 was next in line after the vice president to succeed to the presidency, followed by the Speaker of the House. In 1886, however, Congress changed the order of presidential succession, replacing the president pro tempore and the Speaker with the cabinet officers. Proponents of this change argued that the congressional leaders lacked executive experience, and none had served as president, while six former secretaries of state had later been elected to that office. The Presidential Succession Act of 1947, signed by President Harry Truman, changed the order again to what it is today. The cabinet members are ordered in the line of succession according to the date their offices were established. Prior to the ratification of the 25th Amendment in 1967, there was no provision for filling a vacancy in the vice presidency. When a president died in office, the vice president succeeded him, and the vice presidency then remained vacant. The first vice president to take office under the new procedure was Gerald Ford, who was nominated by Nixon on Oct. 12, 1973, and confirmed by Congress the following Dec. 6. The Vice President is first inline to be president, but if he too were either to die or be impeached at the same time as the president, then it is the Speaker of the House Folks, with the very liberal Boehner out of he way, a man who believes in this nation, as Speaker of the House could very easily be the next president.

It would be important if the Dims and the alleged Republicans weren't 2 branches of the same party. As it is,it's pretty much a case of "inside baseball". Important to the pros,but nothing will change for the rest of us.
