DESIGNATED SURVIVOR:
Like in the TV show, every State of the Union has their own “next-in-line” or a “just-in-case” a catastrophe
strikes. The person chosen as designated survivor – generally a cabinet member – must be in the presidential
line of succession, so should something happen to the president, someone would be ready to step up
immediately to ensure the continuity of government, meaning someone will be in charge to direct the necessary
functions of the federal government at all times.
*Neither Alejandro Mayorkas nor Jennifer Grandhom are naturally-born U.S. citizens, therefore neither could
become president
This year the cabinet member chosen for designated survivor was Miguel Cardona, the Secretary of Education
