I'm President Hughes, and I approve this message.

                Today in Western Civilization we continued our PowerPoint on the Bill of Rights. We had a brief discussion before starting the PowerPoint on what we reviewed yesterday, mostly pointed towards presidential succession. If the President is disabled from service, then the Vice President steps in. If the Vice President is disabled from service, it continues to move down a list of people, based off of when their branch was formed. The current top three behind the President is the Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Paul Ryan, and the President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch. Since Homeland Security is one of the most recently created branches, it’s at the bottom of the list. Quite honestly, I think that Homeland Security should near the top of the list as the most likely the president would be disabled from office would be through an assassination attempt. Therefore, Homeland Security could take immediate control, and since this threat would most likely be from a large organization, Homeland Security could lead the country and disable the threat at the same time (I also think someone military-based would make a good president. Ex. Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, President Lincoln, and so forth). Lastly, the president must separate himself from his outside financial affairs while in office and does not get a pay downgrade or raise throughout their term. They must also take an Oath of Office before being able to enter Presidency. Section two of the document  discusses the powers of the President, being that the President is the commander-in-chief of the army, and that he/she can grant pardons.
