would be Acting President Pelosi. Only the Vice President can become president, anyone else assuming the power would be acting as president.

Amendment XXV
Section 1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

(a)(1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office,
inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice
President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President,
then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his
resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as
President.
