Some Insight…
“This is an example of how the branches of
  government are in fact linked. When all
  members of the executive branch are unable
  to serve, the next in line is the leader of the
  legislative branch. This supports some of the
  separation of branches that are a part of the
  constitutional system.”
                                                   -Ronald Schurin, Associate Professor at
                                                    the University of Connecticut
