Answer 1

The death of a leader in office, a resignation, or the appointment of a leader to a different role are all situations that may trigger a Presidential Line of Succession. This is a case in which those next in line to the President will replace him if such incidents occur. The first three successions are: 1. Vice President; 2. Speaker of the Houes of Representatives; 3. President pro tempore of the Senate.

Answer 2

All these situations may lead to the replacement of the leader by the next commander in the line of succession, as written in the constitution.

The death of the president, a process of impeachment or resignation lead to the post of the country's leader the vice president. This is a way of ensuring that the nation does not run out of a commander in case of a fatality or a lawsuit. Virtually all democracies have this guarantee mechanism.

Moreover, such a situation can cause turbulence in politics as it moves across the entire command line of a country. If someone else takes office, anything can change.
