Who would become the president if Condoleezza Rice died if she was the president?

If she were already President, then her Vice President would become president. If you are asking who is next in the line of succession following the Secretary of State, see below: Following the normal line of succession (adopted by Congress in 1947) and assuming that the office positions were vacated due to death during a current presidential term, the succession to the oval office would be: # President # Vice President # Speaker of the House # President Pro-Tempore of the Senate # Secretary of State # Secretary of the Treasury # Secretary of Defense # Attorney General If the line of succession indeed got to the Secretary of State, and that person became incapacitated and could no longer serve as President, then the next inline would be the Secretary of the Treasury - assuming that a Vice President had not yet been appointed. If a new VP had been appointed, then the VP would become President. See the link below for the current list for the office terms of 2004 - 2008:
