[GCFL-discuss] who was president 12:01 pm yesterday

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

My point is, until they either DO resign to become president, or pass,
the office does not fall to anyone else. So talking about the Secretary
of State or any other cabinet officer (they are all in line, in order of
how old their position is), becoming president for a few minutes, is
nonsense.

If a major crisis had erupted on Jan 20 around noon, either Bush or Obama
or both would have handled it. Nobody else.

Please elaborate on this statement: 
Succession to the office of president, beyond the vice president, is
established by a congressional 
statute, adopted under the authority of Amendment XX (1933) and Amendment
XXV (1967). 
The congressional statute you refer to (which I saw before starting this
thread but thought was part of the amendment), states explicitly that the
Speaker or President pro temp must resign before assuming the presidency.
