The National Defence Pact

The National Defence Act of 2026, was a bill put into effect by congress and approved by President Elison. The contents of the act include many emergency plans in case of various crisises, but most importantly, it changes the order of sucsession in the event of the death of the President of the United States. The order is now: Vice President, Secretary of Defence, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Speaker of the House, Minority Leader of the Senate, and finally the rest of the President's cabinent. This was very controversial that the non-elected Director of the CIA was ahead of the order than the elected Speaker of the House and other elected roles, but this was waved off due to the reasoning of national security.
