Order of Succession - United States President Waiting List

Your Name Here

by Mike Durrett
for About.com

Have you ever thought about becoming President of the United States? There is a way to do so without getting up early on Sundays to appear on "Meet the Press" with boring people. Get in line. I'm #1496.

From the Web Site: "Welcome to the Official United States Order of Succession. Since the Presidential Succession Act only covers 18 people, what would happen if something happened to those 18? We felt it important to continue the list for all Americans as a true contingency plan for Democracy. Here is your chance to join the list, should your country need you."

This fine public service allows you to add your name to those patriotic citizens waiting to rule the greatest nation on Earth. While my numerical position in the succession could change, I'm starting in the D.C. queue behind strong competition, including:

#4 Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
#620 Chief of Awesome Daniel Westrick
#649 Lord Ruler of Earth Stewie Griffin
#1376 Destroyer of Worlds: Fluffy
#1484 Most High Poobah Carlene

You can sign up to be President, too, but I'm watching my back. All of you #1497 and beyond can leave me alone. Go bug Hillary.
