2008 test · Question 30 of 100
If the President can no longer serve, who becomes President?
Official USCIS answers
- the Vice President
Why this is the answer
The Constitution says the Vice President is next in line for the presidency. This keeps the government running if the President dies, resigns, or cannot do the job.
💡 Memory tip: Remember: the President's 'number two' steps up first.
This is the 2008 test, for N-400s filed before October 20, 2025. Filed on or after that date? Use the 2025 test.
