B. Vacancies and Succession

If the President dies, resigns, is removed from office, or is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the Presidency, those powers and responsibilities pass to the Vice President. Should the same circumstances extend to the Vice President, then to the Leader of the Senate, then to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Congress may designate by law the succession beyond the Speaker, but must ensure that all Persons in the line of succession otherwise meet the qualifications and requirements of the Presidency.

If the Vice President resigns or is required to assume the Presidency, the Leader of the Senate will fill the Vice Presidency, and the Senate will elect a new Leader according to the rules of that body.

If the President is temporarily incapacitated, the Vice President assumes the duties of the Presidency until the President can resume their regular duties.
