The Presidential Line Of Succession, As Taught To Dana

I taught Dana the Presidential line of succession. It's an important thing to know if you like movies like White House Down or Olympus Has Fallen or the show Designated Survivor. For some reason, we seem to be rather obsessed with the prospect of losing our leaders and having to replace them with people way down the ladder. Like if Dave were somehow incapacitated, we luckily know that the leadership of Barstool falls to our second-in-command in Nate. But after that, it gets a bit murky. And we might do well to designate a proper line of succession here. 

Also, I'm fallible. I don't know everything. I erred in saying that the Treasury Secretary sets interest rates. Of course not. That job belongs to the Federal Reserve. Whoopsie daisies. Could use a brush up on my macroeconomics.
