The disease penetrated the president’s inner circle last week.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany revealed Thursday there is no procedure in place to facilitate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s ascension to the presidency should President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence become incapacitated by the coronavirus.

WNU Editor: I laughed when I first read the story. We clearly have a case of a reporter fantasizing that there will be a President Pelosi in the future.

It could happen. But the odds are slim and none. The speaker of the house is the third in succession.
Jeff is right. By law. Can you see a scenario where this administration tries something else?
If it looks like a Dem will take over as acting President, Trump will declare martial law to prevent it. If Pelosi becomes acting president, she'll order the FBI to arrest Trump, Pence & many others. Dem affiliated judges will preside over trials. Dem vetted juries will hand in guilty verdicts. 100 year sentences will be handed down. It will look like the trials for the German July '44 coup participants. Welcome to the new USA, the Utd Soviet of America.
