For no specific reason, here’s a reminder of the order of succession if President Trump — and any of his immediate successors — were to somehow leave office very soon.

1. Vice President Pence

2. House Speaker Paul Ryan

3. President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch

4. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

5. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin

6. Defense Secretary James Mattis

7. Attorney General Jeff Sessions

8. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke

9. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue

10. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross

11. Labor Secretary Alex Acosta

12. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price

13. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson

14. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao*

15. Energy Secretary Rick Perry

16. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos

17. Veteran Affairs Secretary David Shulkin

18. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly

*The designated order stipulates that Chao, based on her position, would be 14th in line, but she would technically not be eligible because she is not a natural born U.S. citizen.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Short answer is yes.

2. Yes, people really need to keep these jackals in mind.

Rump is enormously unfit for office and needs to go; but when he is gone, if anything, the dismantling and corruption of our institutions is likely to rev up.

4. We need an Asteroid.
