In the United States, if the governor is unable to fulfill their responsibilities, the line of succession typically follows a specific order. The first in line is the lieutenant governor, followed by the attorney general or secretary of state, depending on the state’s laws. If both the governor and lieutenant governor are unavailable, the next individual in line can vary by state, often designated by the state legislature or the governor's succession plan.
