Question
if the president and vice president died in a car crash, who would lead the country according to the 25th amendment?
(1 point)
○ secretary of state
○ speaker of the house
○ president of the senate
○ commander - in - chief of the armed forces
The 25th Amendment of the United States Constitution outlines the order of succession. After the President and Vice - President, the Speaker of the House is next in line. The Secretary of State and President of the Senate (usually the Vice - President, but if the Vice - President is already dead) are further down in the line of succession. The Commander - in - Chief is a role of the President, not a separate position for succession in this context.
