    No, no, letting the VP pick any successor makes it too easy for them to game the system! We should come up with a completely objective, impartial method.

    The oldest child of the current President becomes the next President.

      But what if that child is dead, or too young, or incapacitated? Who gets it if they’re incapacitated? What about if that person is incapacitated?

      We would need a whole line of succession just to make sure that nobody can game the system. I think it’s too important to come up with a whole new, untested system so we should look to others for inspiration. I heard about some guy in the UK…Charles something or other…maybe he’s got some ideas?
