Please Help Us Send POTUS A Message, Demanding A Change to the Presidential Line of Succession To Remove The Speaker of the House, Due To the Conflict-of-Interest Caused By Impeachment Proceedings Presidential Line of Succession on Wikipedia Succession is defined in the Constitution as simply the VP after the P, and then "gave congress the power" to define the succession thereafter It goes VP, then Speaker, and then Senate head guy, then back to the heads of the cabinet level executive agencies. Of COURSE the Congress inserted themselves in the line of succession.  That there was the power-grab, and the conflict of interest. It's actually BAD.  It violates separation of powers.  Succession in the executive...should ONLY go back to the executive. Period. The president needs to make the Executive Order in accordance to laws, HOWEVER, there IS a way to circumvent the law that the Congress passed to make the line of succession roll over to the speaker and the senator pro tempore-- he could add an executive order saying that in the case of IMPEACHMENT and REMOVAL FROM OFFICE, that the Congress is now exempted (both positions) from the line of succession Thus succession as it is now, should only apply in the case of illness, voluntary resignation or death; otherwise in the case of impeachment, the executive order should be very clear that because of the conflict-of-interest created by the line of succession in the context of an impeachment--which creates an incentive for the Congress to remove the president and viced president under any legitimate or illegitimate cause in order to assume the presidency--they should be exempted from it completely. If this matter is of interest to you, please help put this into a very straightforward language.  If you are a lawyer or just if you're better at English than myself, please help simplify this concept so it's readily understood AND concise, so that we can elevator pitch this to POTUS and possibly also to SCOTUS Thank you.
