The line of succession after the Vice President is the Speaker of the House, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Secretary of State.
Senator Frist is the majority leader. It would make more sense if the majority leader were in this line than it does for the President Pro Tem. The majority leader has real power, while the President Pro Tem is an honorary position that usually goes to the senior member of the majority party. The current President Pro Tem is Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska.
