I’m not a Constitutional studies guy, so I don’t really know.
As far as I do know, the only requirement to be Speaker of the House is for a majority of the House to vote for you, and the only way the Speaker could become President is if something happens to the President and the VP simultaneously. I suspect what would happen in that case is it would skip over the Speaker and go to the next in the line of succession who is eligible.
Could a 30 year old be speaker of the house? Or anywhere in the chain of succession?
