The executive branch of the American federal government includes the United States Cabinet. The vice president, the secretary of state, and other leaders of the federal executive departments who are all, if qualified, in the presidential line of succession, are members of the Cabinet.
In the event that an elected president passes away, resigns, is removed from office, or becomes incapacitated, the vice president of the United States, along with other federal officers, take over the presidency's powers and responsibilities (or the office itself, in the case of a succession by the vice president).
The speaker of the House of Representatives, president pro tempore of the Senate, and then Cabinet secretaries, depending on eligibility, assume the powers and duties of the presidency if the vice presidency is simultaneously vacant or if the vice president is also unable to perform his or her duties.
