Well, yeah. People are ranting about impeaching them and getting them out of office. Therefore, the speaker is next in line.
The vice president is always next in line. If Bush or Cheney are impeached, one of them will be president and name a new vice president. The speaker of the house could never become president following impeachment unless whoever was then the president named the speaker as the new vice president.
