Presidential succession

Pick two people on the Presidential Success list and research them for 20mins.

Give a brief description of each person in your blog.   Their title, responsibilities, life...etc.

Joe Biden is the vice president, so he is next in line to be president.  The Constitution gives the vice president the role of presiding over the Senate, and voting in the Senate if there is a tie.  He married Neila Hunter and they had three children together.  Neila and his daughter were killed in a car accident, but he remarried Jill Jacobs and had another daughter. He was elected to senate 1972 and was elected seven more times.

Janet Napolitano is the last one in line to become president if the president were to die.  She is the Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security .  She is in charge of job training, career qualifications and immigration services.  Napolitano is the former govoner of Arizona.  She was appointed in 1993 by President Bill Clinton to be a U.S. Attorney in Arizona.
