The “list of succession” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. After the VP, we get the Speaker of the House (Mike “Keebler Elf” Johnson), then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate (a ceremonial post that typically goes to the oldest Senator of the majority party, currently Chuck Grassley), then a bunch of Cabinet posts.

But it’s important to note that those other positions only kick in if all the other posts are vacant when the Presidency becomes vacant, and those other posts are rarely vacant. And when the VP vacates the office to become President, both houses of Congress must affirm the new VP via majority vote

But this Congress? Even if somehow they toss Trump and make Vance President, I bet they will not think twice before selecting Sean Hannity or Matt Gaetz to be the new VP under Vance.
