This Presidential Succession lesson plan also includes:
"Who takes over if a president dies, resigns, is impeached, or is otherwise removed from office?" That is the question class members research. After listing the 18 successors in order, individuals respond in writing to a series of questions about the political implications of the order.

Instructional Ideas
- Since acting administration officials may only be in the line of succession if they have been confirmed by the Senate, have researchers determine whether their subject has been confirmed
Classroom Considerations
- The Presidential Succession site was last updated on August 28, 2019; remind researchers that changes in the office holders have occurred since then
- Instructors must prepare a lecture on the history of presidential succession; as an alternative have class members do the research
Pros
- A link is provided to the Presidential Succession site
Cons
- Although evaluation criteria are suggested, no rubric is included
