The Army Combat Uniform , also known in the Air Force as the Airman Combat Uniform ( ACU ) and its flame - retardant variant , the Flame - Resistant Army Combat Uniform ( FRACU ) , are the current battle uniforms worn by the United States Army . First unveiled in June 2004 , it is the successor to the Battle Dress Uniform ( BDU ) and Desert Camouflage Uniform ( DCU ) worn from the 1980s and 1990s through the early 2000s , respectively . The ACU and its component materials are manufactured by the existing industrial infrastructure which produced the now - obsolete BDU . Official military - grade ACUs are made of 50 % nylon and 50 % cotton . All other blends are not official issue .

The experimental features used on the CCU were eventually incorporated into the ACU , which was publicly announced in June 2004 . Initial Fielding ( edit ) The process of replacing the U.S. Army 's woodland pattern BDU and DCU with the ACU was to begin in April 2005 . However , the fielding process began two months earlier through the Rapid Fielding Initiative . Soldiers from the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team were the first U.S. Army unit to receive the ACU , subsequently deploying the entire Brigade into OIF combat in May 2005 . Initial reception of the ACU was mixed , with complaints of insufficient durability and excessive maintenance . The ACU 's infrared tab , closed ( left ) , and opened ( right ) . Universal Camouflage pattern ( UCP ) ( edit ) Main article : Universal Camouflage Pattern The ACU of a U.S. Navy sailor attached to a U.S. Army unit during the Iraq War , August 2009 . The ACU originally used the Universal Camouflage Pattern ( UCP ) , which used a pixelated pattern of tan , gray and green ( Desert Sand 500 , Urban Gray 501 and Foliage Green 502 ) and was intended to work equally well in desert , woodland , and urban environments . It is aesthetically similar to the USMC 's MARPAT and Canadian CADPAT camouflage scheme . The shade black was omitted from the uniform since it is highly visible both to the naked eye and to modern optics . Pure black , when viewed through night vision devices , appears excessively dark and creates an undesirable high - contrast image . The pattern proved to be ineffective in certain environments , and is scheduled to be fully phased out of the Army by 30 September 2019 . Operation enduring freedom Camouflage pattern ( MultiCam ) ( edit ) Main article : MultiCam Beginning in late 2010 U.S. Army soldiers deployed to Afghanistan ( starting with the 173rd Airborne Brigade ) were issued an Army - developed variant of the Crye Precision `` MultiCam '' pattern , which was far more effective in Afghanistan 's terrain . These flame - retardant uniforms are designed to prevent third - degree burns , along with up to thirty percent of second degree burns . Additionally , the uniforms are treated with the chemical permethrin to help protect soldiers from insect - borne diseases like malaria . Some U.S. Army soldiers during the latter stages of the Iraq War also wore the ACU in MultiCam ; some were seen wearing them as late as December 2011 , when the United States withdrew its military forces from the country at the end of the war . This particular version has been replaced by the newer ACU in the Operational Camouflage Pattern . Operational Camouflage pattern ( OCP ) ( edit ) Main article : Operational Camouflage Pattern In May 2014 , the Army unofficially announced that the Operational Camouflage Pattern ( OCP ) would replace UCP on the ACU . The original `` Scorpion '' pattern was developed at United States Army Soldier Systems Center by Crye Precision in 2002 for the Objective Force Warrior program . Crye later modified and trademarked their version of the pattern as MultiCam , which was selected for use by U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan in 2010 . After talks to officially adopt MultiCam broke down over costs in late 2013 , the Army began experimenting with the original Scorpion pattern , creating a variant code named `` Scorpion W2 '' , noting that while a pattern can be copyrighted , a color palette can not and that beyond 50 meters the actual pattern is `` not that relevant . '' The pattern resembles MultiCam with muted greens , light beige , and dark brown colors , but uses fewer beige and brown patches and no vertical twig and branch elements . On 31 July 2014 , the Army formally announced that the pattern would begin being issued in uniforms in summer 2015 . The official name is intended to emphasize its use beyond Afghanistan to all combatant commands . The UCP pattern is planned to be fully replaced by the OCP on the ACU by 1 October 2019 . ACUs printed in OCP first became available for purchase on 1 July 2015 , with deployed soldiers already being issued uniforms and equipment in the new pattern . Components ( edit ) A U.S. Army soldier in June 2005 wearing the ACU in UCP with matching IBA vest and ACH helmet . A U.S. Army soldier in Kunar province , Afghanistan , during Operation Saray in April 2006 . U.S. Army soldiers from the 2nd Infantry Division , patrol the streets of Baghdad , Iraq during the Iraq War in August 2006 , while wearing the ACU and Interceptor body armor . The ACU features hook - and - loop fasteners , also known by the genericized trademark Velcro , on its sleeve pockets . Jacket ( edit ) The ACU jacket originally used hook - and - loop - backed attachments to secure items such as name tapes , rank insignia , and shoulder patches and tabs , as well as recognition devices such as the U.S. flag patch and the infrared ( IR ) tab . Originally only pin - on skill badges were authorized for wear on the ACU , with no more than 5 at any one time . In the summer of 2011 , regulations were changed to allow for wearing of sew - on embroidered skill badges like the ones worn on the older BDUs . The 5 - badge limit remained in effect , and there could be no mixing of sew - on and pin - on badges . At the same time , the US Army tape , personal nametapes , and rank insignia could be sewn - on at the wearers preference . Skill tabs , such as the President 's Hundred Tab , Special Forces , Ranger , and Sapper are worn on the left sleeve pocket flap , and are subject to a 3 - tab - only rule . A tab that is an integral part of a unit patch , such as the `` Mountain '' or `` Airborne '' tab , is not counted against the rule . The U.S. Army Chaplain insignia is the only authorized army branch insignia to be worn on the ACU . It is centered 1 / 8 inch above the right name tape . The insignia may be the metal pin - on variety or the black embroidered insignia on digitized fabric with Velcro fasteners . Near Infrared ( NIR ) Signature Management Technology is incorporated to minimize the infrared silhouette . Permanent IR IFF squares are sewn to each shoulder to help identify friendly personnel when night vision devices are used , and are protected by Velcro tabs in garrison or when not in use . Three U.S. flag insignia are authorized for wear with the ACU : full - color , full - color IR , and subdued IR . The U.S. flag insignia ( full - color or subdued ) is worn on the right shoulder pocket flap of the ACU coat . The subdued version is only worn as directed under tactical or field conditions . On the right shoulder of the ACU , the U.S. flag is depicted with the union ( stars ) to the viewer 's right , instead of the usual left ( flag 's own right ) ; this is to give the impression of the flag moving forward with the wearer . Subdued shoulder sleeve insignia are always worn . The jacket 's Mandarin collar was intended to be worn up in combat to fit with the Improved Outer Tactical Vest ( IOTV ) body armor , and worn in the down position otherwise . With the change of pattern to OCP , the Velcro tab that closed the Mandarin collar was removed , along with other Velcro closures . The front closure is zippered and reinforced with Velcro , designed for use with OTV . The tilted chest pockets , cuffs , and elbow pad insert pockets also utilize hook - and - loop closure . There is a three slot pen pocket on the left arm of the jacket , and blouse bellows for increased mobility . The jacket is worn so that it bottom is between the bottom of the pocket and the top of the cargo pocket . In the field , the jacket may be replaced by the flame resistant Army Combat Shirt when worn directly under the IOTV . Trousers ( edit ) The ACU trousers ( or ACU pants ) are worn with a two - inch nylon web belt , and feature Velcro pouches for knee pad inserts , two forward - tilted thigh storage pockets with elastic drawstring and Velcro for closure during movement , and two calf storage pockets one on each pant leg with a Velcro closure . ACU trousers with flame resistant materials are being issued for use in Iraq and Afghanistan . The updates to the ACU trousers in late 2010 included removal of Velcro fasteners from forward - tilted thigh cargo pocket flaps which were replaced with 3 buttons . This change was introduced gradually from 2009 onward and is now in full effect . Two buttons are standard ( same function as on BDU trouser cargo pockets ) , while the third button located at the very end of the pocket can be used to allow for more load and extra volume in cargo pockets . On the small calf pockets the 3 - piece Velcro ( 2 square hook on pocket and one rectangular loop patch on the flap ) have been replaced with a single button in 2012 . Buttons were re-introduced and replaced Velcro on pockets after numerous complaints from soldiers in the field . The belt loops are of new design , much wider ( double width ) and there is 8 of them now compared to 7 in the past . The waist adjustment cord has been removed and replaced by the Velcro waistband fine - adjusters , one at each hip . Instead of a knee pocket which could only accommodate soft knee inserts in the past , the knee area now features multi-layered comprehensive design which allows external hard - type knee pads to be inserted and secured . Back of the knee area has Velcro hook and loop patches to further secure knee inserts around the knee area . Cuffs at the bottom of the trousers do not use drawstrings anymore for blousing ; those have been again replaced by the Velcro cuff adjusters . Further changes as part of the transition to OCP removed the pockets for insertable knee pads altogether , along with the replacement of more Velcro with buttons . To be able to differentiate the FRACU from ACU at a distance , a small square inch tan patch is affixed to the left sleeve cuff on the jacket and the middle of the left cargo pocket flap on the trousers . Headgear ( edit ) A U.S. Army soldier in March 2007 , wears a helmet with a UCP camouflage cover during the Iraq War . Typically , the ACU is worn with the Advanced Combat Helmet , a patrol cap , or a boonie hat and / or fleece cap as appropriate in winter months . The patrol cap is a kepi - styled straight - sided , flat - topped soft cap , with a double thick bill and internal pocket . When in garrison , the maroon , tan , and green berets may be worn by paratroopers , Army Rangers , and Army Special Forces respectively . The green micro fleece cap is authorized for field and garrison use outside of unit PT , per local command . A name tape is worn on the back of the patrol cap . Sew - on rank is recommended but pin - on rank is authorized on the ACU Patrol Cap and ACU Boonie Hat . The MICH ( Modular Integrated Communications Helmet ) Camouflage cover rank must be sewn on if worn but is often not used as the night vision device mount would obstruct it . T - shirt ( edit ) The ACU is worn with a moisture - wicking sand colored T - shirt . A coyote brown T - shirt is authorized with ACU - OCPs , and will become the sole authorized T - shirt upon completion of the full transition to OCP in 2019 . Footwear ( edit ) The ACU is worn with tan Army Combat Boots and olive drab cotton socks . Commercial versions of this boot are authorized without limitation , complying with the following regulations -- must be 8 to 10 inches in height , be made of tan rough side out cattle hide leather with a plain toe and tan rubber outsoles , and be without zippers , metal cleats , or side tabs . The Mountain Combat Boot is available for difficult terrain , and the Extreme Cold Vapor Barrier Boots for cold weather . As with the T - shirt , coyote brown boots are authorized with OCP and will become the sole boot authorized following the completion of the transition in 2019 .

United States Presidential line of succession - wikipedia United States Presidential line of succession Jump to : navigation , search The United States presidential line of succession is the order in which persons may become or act as President of the United States if the incumbent President becomes incapacitated , dies , resigns , or is removed from office ( by impeachment by the House of Representatives and subsequent conviction by the Senate ) . The line of succession is set by the United States Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 as subsequently amended to include newly created cabinet offices . The succession follows the order of Vice President , Speaker of the House of Representatives , President pro tempore of the Senate , and then the heads of federal executive departments who form the Cabinet of the United States . The Cabinet currently has fifteen members , beginning with the Secretary of State , and followed by the rest in the order of their positions ' creation . Those heads of department who are ineligible to act as President are also ineligible to succeed the President by succession , for example most commonly if they are not a natural - born U.S. citizen . Several constitutional law experts have raised questions as to the constitutionality of the provisions that the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate succeed to the presidency , and in 2003 the Continuity of Government Commission raised a number of other issues with the current line of succession .

See Acting officers below . Jump up ^ Not a natural - born citizen ( acquired U.S. citizenship by naturalization ) and thus ineligible for the Presidency . Cabinet officers are in line according to the chronological order of their department 's creation or the department of which their department is the successor ( the Department of Defense being successor to the Department of War , and the Department of Health and Human Services being successor to the Department of Health , Education and Welfare ) . Eligibility ( edit ) Eligibility requirements ( edit ) To be eligible to serve as President , a person must be a natural - born U.S. citizen , at least 35 years of age , and a resident within the United States for at least 14 years . These eligibility requirements are specified both in the U.S. Constitution , Article II , Section 1 , Clause 5 , and in the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 ( 3 U.S.C. § 19 ( e ) ) . Acting officers ( edit ) Acting officers may be eligible . In 2009 , the Continuity of Government Commission , a private non-partisan think tank , reported , The language in the current Presidential Succession Act is less clear than that of the 1886 Act with respect to Senate confirmation . The 1886 Act refers to `` such officers as shall have been appointed by the advice and consent of the Senate to the office therein named ... '' The current act merely refers to `` officers appointed , by and with the advice and consent of the Senate . '' Read literally , this means that the current act allows for acting secretaries to be in the line of succession as long as they are confirmed by the Senate for a post ( even for example , the second or third in command within a department ) . It is common for a second in command to become acting secretary when the secretary leaves office . Though there is some dispute over this provision , the language clearly permits acting secretaries to be placed in the line of succession . ( We have spoken to acting secretaries who told us they had been placed in the line of succession . ) Motivation for changes to the succession in 1945 ( edit ) Two months after succeeding Franklin D. Roosevelt , President Harry S. Truman proposed that the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate be granted priority in the line of succession over the Cabinet so as to ensure the President would not be able to appoint his successor to the Presidency . The Secretary of State and the other Cabinet officials are appointed by the President , while the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate are elected officials . The Speaker is chosen by the U.S. House of Representatives , and every Speaker has been a member of that body for the duration of their term as Speaker , though this is not technically a requirement ; the President pro tempore is chosen by the U.S. Senate and customarily the Senator of the majority party with the longest record of continuous service fills this position . The Congress approved this change and inserted the Speaker and President pro tempore in line , ahead of the members of the Cabinet in the order in which their positions were established . In his speech supporting the changes , Truman noted that the House of Representatives is more likely to be in political agreement with the President and Vice President than the Senate . The succession of a Republican to a Democratic Presidency would further complicate an already unstable political situation . However , when the changes to the succession were signed into law , they placed Republican House Speaker Joseph W. Martin first in the line of succession after the Vice President . Some of Truman 's critics said that his ordering of the Speaker before the President pro tempore was motivated by his dislike of the then - current holder of the latter rank , Senator Kenneth McKellar . Further motivation may have been provided by Truman 's preference for House Speaker Sam Rayburn to be next in the line of succession , rather than Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius , Jr . Constitutional provisions ( edit ) The line of succession is mentioned in three places in the Constitution : Article II , Section 1 , Clause 6 makes the Vice President first in the line of succession and allows the Congress to provide by law for cases in which neither the President nor Vice President can serve . The current such law governing succession is the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 ( 3 U.S.C. § 19 ) . Section 3 of the 20th Amendment provides that if the President - elect dies before his term begins , the Vice President - elect becomes President on Inauguration Day and serves for the full term to which the President - elect was elected . The section also provides that if , on Inauguration Day , a president has not been chosen or the President - elect does not qualify for the presidency , the Vice President - elect acts as president until a president is chosen or the President - elect qualifies . Finally , Section 3 allows the Congress to provide by law for cases in which neither a President - elect nor a Vice President - elect is eligible or available to serve . The 25th Amendment , ratified in 1967 , clarified Article II , Section 1 : that the Vice President is the direct successor of the President . He or she becomes President if the President dies , resigns or is removed from office . The amendment also provides for the situation where the President is temporarily disabled , such as if the President has a surgical procedure or becomes mentally unfit . The amendment also provides for Vice Presidential succession , by requiring Vice Presidential vacancies to be filled by the President and confirmed by both houses of the Congress . Previously , whenever a Vice President had succeeded to the Presidency or had otherwise left the office empty ( through death , resignation , or removal from office ) , the Vice Presidency remained vacant until the next Presidential and Vice Presidential terms began . Acting President and President ( edit ) Main article : Acting President of the United States New President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in aboard Air Force One , following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 . Article II , Section 1 of the United States Constitution provides that : In case of the removal of the President from office , or of his death , resignation , or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office , the same shall devolve on the Vice President ... until the disability be removed , or a President elected . This originally left open the question whether `` the same '' refers to `` the said office '' or only `` the powers and duties of the said office . '' Some historians , including Edward Corwin and John D. Feerick , have argued that the framers ' intention was that the Vice President would remain Vice President while executing the powers and duties of the Presidency ; however , there is also much evidence to the contrary , the most compelling of which is Article I , section 3 , of the Constitution itself , the relevant text of which reads : The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate , but shall have no vote , unless they be equally divided . The Senate shall chuse ( sic ) their other officers , and also a President pro tempore , in the absence of the Vice President , or when he shall exercise the office of President of the United States . This text appears to answer the hypothetical question of whether the office or merely the powers of the Presidency devolved upon the Vice President on his succession . Thus , the 25th Amendment merely restates and reaffirms the validity of existing precedent , apart from adding new protocols for Presidential disability . Not everyone agreed with this interpretation when it was first actually tested , and it was left to Vice President John Tyler , the first presidential successor in U.S. history , to establish the precedent that was respected in the absence of the 25th Amendment . In 1841 , John Tyler became the first person to succeed to the presidency . Upon the death of President William Henry Harrison in 1841 and after a brief hesitation , Tyler took the position that he was the President and not merely acting President upon taking the presidential oath of office . However , some contempories -- including John Quincy Adams , Henry Clay and other members of Congress Whig party leaders and even Tyler 's own cabinet -- believed that he was only acting as President and did not have the office itself . Nonetheless , Tyler adhered to his position , even returning , unopened , mail addressed to the `` Acting President of the United States '' sent by his detractors. Tyler 's view ultimately prevailed when the Senate voted to accept the title `` President , '' and this precedent was followed thereafter . The question was finally resolved by Section 1 of the 25th Amendment , which specifies that `` In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation , the Vice President shall become President . '' The Amendment does not specify whether officers other than the Vice President can become President rather than Acting President in the same set of circumstances . The Presidential Succession Act refers only to other officers acting as President rather than becoming President . History of succession law set by Congress ( edit ) Presidential succession Act 1792 ( edit ) Main article : Presidential Succession Act Wikisource has original text related to this article : Presidential Succession Act 1792 The Presidential Succession Act of 1792 was the first succession law passed by Congress . The act was contentious because the Federalists did not want the then Secretary of State , Thomas Jefferson , who had become the leader of the Democratic - Republicans , to follow the Vice President in the succession . There were also separation of powers concerns over including the Chief Justice of the United States in the line . The compromise they worked out established the President pro tempore of the Senate as next in line after the Vice President , followed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives . In either case , these officers were to `` act as President of the United States until the disability be removed or a president be elected . '' The Act called for a special election to be held in November of the year in which dual vacancies occurred ( unless the vacancies occurred after the first Wednesday in October , in which case the election would occur the following year ; or unless the vacancies occurred within the last year of the presidential term , in which case the next election would take place as regularly scheduled ) . The people elected President and Vice President in such a special election would have served a full four - year term beginning on March 4 of the next year , but no such election ever took place . Presidential succession Act 1886 ( edit ) Wikisource has original text related to this article : Presidential Succession Act 1886 In 1881 , after the death of President Garfield , and in 1885 , after the death of Vice President Hendricks , there had been no President pro tempore in office , and as the new House of Representatives had yet to convene , no Speaker either , leaving no one at all in the line of succession after the vice president . When Congress convened in December 1885 , President Cleveland asked for a revision of the 1792 act , which was passed in 1886 . Congress replaced the President pro tempore and Speaker with officers of the President 's Cabinet with the Secretary of State first in line . In the first 100 years of the United States , six former Secretaries of State had gone on to be elected President , while only two congressional leaders had advanced to that office . As a result , changing the order of the line of succession seemed reasonable . Presidential succession Act 1947 ( edit ) Wikisource has original text related to this article : Presidential Succession Act 1947 The Presidential Succession Act of 1947 , signed into law by President Harry S. Truman , added the Speaker of the House and President pro tempore back in the line , but switched the two from the 1792 order . It remains the sequence used today . Since the reorganization of the military in 1947 had merged the War Department ( which governed the Army ) with the Department of the Navy into the Department of Defense , the Secretary of Defense took the place in the order of succession previously held by the Secretary of War . The office of Secretary of the Navy , which had existed as a Cabinet - level position since 1798 , had become subordinate to the Secretary of Defense in the military reorganization , and so was dropped from the line of succession in the 1947 Succession Act . Postmaster General removed 1971 ( edit ) Until 1971 , the Postmaster General , the head of the Post Office Department , was a member of the Cabinet , initially the last in the presidential line of succession before new officers were added . Once the Post Office Department was re-organized into the United States Postal Service , a special agency independent of the executive branch , the Postmaster General ceased to be a member of the Cabinet and was thus removed from the line of succession . Secretary of Homeland Security added 2006 ( edit ) The United States Department of Homeland Security was created in 2002 . On March 9 , 2006 , pursuant to the renewal of the Patriot Act as Pub. L. 109 -- 177 , the Secretary of Homeland Security was added to the line of succession . The order of Cabinet members in the line has always been the same as the order in which their respective departments were established . Despite custom , many in Congress had wanted the Secretary to be placed at number eight on the list -- below the Attorney General , above the Secretary of the Interior , and in the position held by the Secretary of the Navy prior to the creation of the Secretary of Defense -- because the Secretary , already in charge of disaster relief and security , would presumably be more prepared to take over the presidency than some of the other Cabinet secretaries . Despite this , the 2006 law explicitly specifies that the `` Secretary of Homeland Security '' follows the `` Secretary of Veterans Affairs '' in the succession , effectively at the end of the list . Successions beyond Vice President ( edit ) David Rice Atchison 's tombstone ( Plattsburg , Missouri ) , including the claim `` President of the United States for One Day '' While nine Vice Presidents have succeeded to the office upon the death or resignation of the President , and two Vice Presidents have temporarily served as acting President , no other officer has ever been called upon to act as President . On March 4 , 1849 , President Zachary Taylor 's term began , but he declined to be sworn in on a Sunday , citing religious beliefs , and the Vice President was not sworn either . As the last President pro tempore of the Senate , David Rice Atchison was thought by some to be next in line after the Vice President , and his tombstone claims that he was US President for the day . However , Atchison took no oath of office to the presidency either , and his term as Senate President pro tempore had by then expired . In 1865 , when Andrew Johnson assumed the Presidency on the death of Abraham Lincoln , the office of Vice President became vacant . At that time , the Senate President pro tempore was next in line to the presidency . In 1868 , Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives and subjected to trial in the Senate , and if he had been convicted and thereby removed from office , Senate President pro tempore Benjamin Wade would have become acting President . This posed a conflict of interest , as Wade 's `` guilty '' vote could have been decisive in removing Johnson from office and giving himself presidential powers and duties . ( Johnson was acquitted by a one - vote margin . ) In his book The Shadow Presidents , which he published in 1979 , Michael Medved describes a situation that arose prior to the 1916 election , when the First World War was raging in Europe . In view of the contemporary international turmoil , President Woodrow Wilson thought that if he lost the election it would be better for his opponent to begin his administration straight away , instead of waiting through the lame duck period , which at that time had a duration of almost four months . President Wilson and his aides formed a plan to exploit the rule of succession so that his rival Charles Evans Hughes could take over the Presidency as soon as the result of the election was clear . The plan was that Wilson would appoint Hughes to the post of Secretary of State . Wilson and his Vice President Thomas R. Marshall would then resign , and as the Secretary of State was at that time designated next in line of succession , Hughes would become President immediately . As it happened , President Wilson won re-election , so the plan was never put into action . New President Gerald Ford is sworn in following the resignation of Richard Nixon on August 9 , 1974 . Since the 25th Amendment 's ratification , its Second Section , which addresses Vice Presidential succession as noted above , has been invoked twice . During the 1973 Vice Presidential vacancy , House Speaker Carl Albert was first in line . As the Watergate scandal made President Nixon 's removal or resignation possible , Albert would have become Acting President and -- under Title 3 , Section 19 ( c ) of the U.S. Code -- would have been able to `` act as President until the expiration of the then current Presidential term '' on January 20 , 1977 . Albert openly questioned whether it was appropriate for him , a Democrat , to assume the powers and duties of the presidency when there was a public mandate for the Presidency to be held by a Republican . Albert announced that should he need to assume the Presidential powers and duties , he would do so only as a caretaker . However , with the nomination and confirmation of Gerald Ford to the Vice Presidency , which marked the first time the Second Section of the Twenty - fifth Amendment was invoked , these series of events were never tested . Albert again became first - in - line during the first four months of Ford 's Presidency , before the confirmation of Vice President Nelson Rockefeller , which marked the second time Section 2 of the Twenty - fifth Amendment was invoked . In 1981 , when President Ronald Reagan was shot , Vice President George H.W. Bush was traveling in Texas . Secretary of State Alexander Haig responded to a reporter 's question regarding who was running the government by stating : Constitutionally , gentlemen , you have the President , the Vice President and the Secretary of State in that order , and should the President decide he wants to transfer the helm to the Vice President , he will do so . He has not done that . As of now , I am in control here , in the White House , pending return of the Vice President and in close touch with him . If something came up , I would check with him , of course . A bitter dispute ensued over the meaning of Haig 's remarks . Most people believed that Haig was referring to the line of succession and erroneously claimed to have temporary Presidential authority , due to his implied reference to the Constitution . Haig and his supporters , noting his familiarity with the line of succession from his time as White House Chief of Staff during Richard Nixon 's resignation , said he only meant that he was the highest - ranking officer of the Executive branch on - site , managing things temporarily until the Vice President returned to Washington . Constitutional concerns ( edit ) Several constitutional law experts have raised questions as to the constitutionality of the provisions that the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate succeed to the presidency . James Madison , one of the authors of the Constitution , raised similar constitutional questions about the Presidential Succession Act of 1792 in a 1792 letter to Edmund Pendleton . Two of these issues can be summarized : The term `` Officer '' in the relevant clause of the Constitution is most plausibly interpreted to mean an `` Officer of the United States '' , who must be a member of the Executive or Judicial Branch . The Speaker and the President pro tempore are not officers in this sense . Under the principle of separation of powers , the Constitution specifically disallows legislative officials from also serving in the executive branch . For the Speaker or the Senate President pro tempore to become Acting President , they must resign their position , at which point they are no longer in the line of succession . This is seen by some to form a constitutional paradox . However , the current Act specifies that the Speaker becomes President `` upon his resignation as Speaker '' and as a member of Congress , allowing for a seamless transition . In 2003 the Continuity of Government Commission suggested that the current law has `` at least seven significant issues ... that warrant attention '' , specifically : The reality that all figures in the current line of succession work and reside in the vicinity of Washington , D.C. In the event of a nuclear , chemical , or biological attack , it is possible that everyone on the list would be killed or incapacitated . Doubt ( such as those expressed above by James Madison ) that congressional leaders are eligible to act as President . A concern about the wisdom of including the President pro tempore in the line of succession as the `` largely honorific post traditionally held by the longest - serving Senator of the majority party '' . For example , from January 20 , 2001 , to June 6 , 2001 , the President pro tempore was then - 98 - year - old Strom Thurmond of South Carolina . A concern that the current line of succession can force the presidency to abruptly switch parties mid-term , as the President , Speaker , and the President pro tempore are not necessarily of the same party as each other . A concern that the succession line is ordered by the dates of creation of the various executive departments , without regard to the skills or capacities of the persons serving as their Secretary . The fact that , should a Cabinet member begin to act as President , the law allows the House to elect a new Speaker ( or the Senate , a new President pro tempore ) , who could in effect remove the Cabinet member and assume the office themselves at any time . The absence of a provision where a President is disabled and the vice presidency is vacant ( for example , if an assassination attempt simultaneously wounded the President and killed the Vice President ) .
