Presidential Succession Question

[SoonerInKCMO]

So... the POTUS must be a citizen from birth... there's a defined order of succession should the POTUS die or become otherwise incapacitated... are all of the people in the succession path required to be born citizens? Or do they just skip over a naturalized person if it comes to that?

TIA!

During the Clinton impeachment trial, I remember the news going through this and saying how Albright would be skipped over due to her being born in Czechslovikia.

I would say they go down the list and if your eligible, then you're the next president.

the republicans were feeling out this naturalization issue when Arnold was a hot poilitician a couple years ago.

Not everyone within the Presidential line of succession must be a natural born citizen and meet all the requirements for President UNLESS it comes to the point that they themselves would actually become the President. In other words, though the Speaker of the House is in the line of succession he/she does not need to possess all of the qualification for President.

If it comes to a person in the line of succession who does not meet the qualifications then it passes to the next person who does.
