He could always become speaker of the house and then accidentally slip and fall and snap the necks of both president and vice president and then become president through succession.

You know, just saying it aloud.

Ah, the infamous accidental Vulcan death pinch.

But... he... would... only do it... if necessary.

OK, sorry, I took it too geeky there didn't I?

Actually I think you're thinking of Leonard Nimoy... now he could be president without some bending of the laws. It would be a logical choice.
