Right. :-)

If the president is disabled, the individual who becomes the acting president is the vice president. This is stated in the Constitution of the United States, specifically the 25th Amendment. To confirm this, you can consult the Constitution or its amendments, which are available online or in printed copies. The 25th Amendment specifically addresses the process for presidential succession in case of a vacancy, disability, or removal of the president.
