The United Federation Presidential Line of Succession is the order in which the Vice President of the United Federation and other officers of the United Federation Government assume the powers and duties of the Aumarean Presidency (or the office itself, in the instance of succession by the vice president) upon an elected president's death, resignation, removal from office, or incapacity.

The order of succession specifies that the office passes to the vice president; if the vice presidency is simultaneously vacant, or if the vice president is also incapacitated, the powers and duties of the presidency pass to the Speaker of the House of Delegates.

The line of succession can be amended by an Act of Congress.
