who becomes the acting president if the president is disabled?
vice president
if the president dies, resigns or is removed from office, the vice president automatically becomes president. likewise, were a president-elect to die during the transition period, or decline to serve, the vice president-elect would become president on inauguration day. a vice president can also become the acting president if the president becomes incapacitated. however, should the presidency and vice presidency both become vacant, the statutory successor called upon would not become president, but would only be acting as president. to date, two vice presidents—george h. w. bush (once) and dick cheney (twice)—have been acting president. no one lower in the line of succession has yet been called upon to act as president.
