When the President dies and the Vice become President he then picks a new Vice, and the cycle continues. Vice -> Pres
----------------------------------------
No, that's not how it works. First off the two never travel together so they can't be killed at the same time, but if the president dies the vice precident takes over and does not appoint a vice. The position remains open. If the vice then dies the next in command takes over. That would be the secretary of state.
----------------------------------------
Actually, after the president dies, the vice president becomes president, and if he dies, then the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE becomes the new president........
----------------------------------------
To add to the correction, the first paragraph above is correct. The second paragraph (the first correction) is very, very wrong.
First of all, the President and VP could easily die at the same time. They could be assassinated at the same function, a nuclear attack could kill both, etc.
Secondly, if the President dies, the VP becomes President and appoints a new VP, who then is confirmed by a majority of both houses of Congress.
It is only if both the President and the VP die at the same time, or the President dies and then the VP who became President dies before he has appointed a new VP, that the Speaker of the House becomes President.

the last guy was right, the president pro tempore becomes president after the speaker of the house...comes secretary of state, treasury, defense, attorney general, secretary of interior, agriculture, commerce, labor....finally a couple of people later it ends with the secretary of homeland security...

How much is a 1941 one cent penny worth today?
All U.S. "pennies" are one-cent coins so a "1 cent penny" is a bit like a "16 ounce pound"1941 is not a rare year for Lincoln cents. There were 92,360,000 pennies struck in San Francisco in 1941 and no proofs issued. In the year 2010 the coin is worth roughly 200 dollars, about twice the value of copper it contains, this assumes the penny is in circulation. In some case you may find coins in uncirculated condition, the exact value would be based on it's specific condition ranging between AU51 and MS60. It would be hard to find a penny from this year and mint above MS60 state.
What is the value of an 1895 US dime?
This depends drastically for an 1895 on the mint mark, which is on the back of the dime just below the wreath.An 1895-O is the most valuable regularly minted Barber Dime (The 1894-S was a proof strike) and is considered to be the single key date.I would figure that a heavily worn, poor condition 1895-O is still worth $500 and a flawless one can bring over $50,000.Even an 1895-S in poor condition should still be worth $25 or so, with an 1895 with no mintmark worth a bit more than that, this assumes a very low grade coin, nicer ones are worth (Sometimes dramatically) more.More details:Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2010:No mint mark (Philadelphia):Very worn condition - $89Moderately worn - $345Slightly worn - $431Almost no wear - $625Uncirculated - $810 to $22,430 depending on quality"O" mint mark (New Orleans):Very worn condition - $480Moderately worn - $930Slightly worn - $1,530Almost no wear - $3,558Uncirculated - $5,730 to $45,180"S" mint mark (San Francisco):Very worn condition - $44Moderately worn - $125Slightly worn - $178Almost no wear - $340Uncirculated - $540 to $18,850
Why do your think that African American soldiers were treated better in Europe than at home?
The question assumes that African American soldiers WERE treated better in Europe than at home. The truth is much more complex. For example - Hitler and many of his followers insisted that those of African extraction were sub-human (which is one of the reasons he was infuriated and embarrassed when Jesse Owens did so well in the Berlin Olympics). Consequently, African American soldiers were sometimes treated far worse as POWs. It is also true that many of the regions near the Mediterranean had built up bigotry against those from across the Mediterranean in Africa and applied those attitudes to African-American soldiers. With that said - many times the African-Americans WERE treated better in Europe than at home. Slavery took longer to die out in the US than in most of Europe so they were further removed from those attitudes. Africans - being in closer proximity to Europe than America - were somewhat more common to the Europeans as just being from another country rather than as part of an established underclass. There is also the factor that as liberating soldiers they were being welcomed regardless of ethnic origin - which certainly would give them a higher status than they enjoyed at home. This reception was, of course general to ALL the liberating soldiers, black, white, green, or purple.

How does the speaker of the house ever become president if a new vice-president is always appointed?
Presidential succession assumes that the offices above the individual are all vacant at the time. (An example is that there was no Vice President immediately after Spiro Agnew resigned in 1973. So the Speaker of the house would have become President if Nixon had suddenly died or been incapacitated.) ============== The Speaker of the House does not become Vice President (unless he runs for the office and is elected or he is appointed by the President and confirmed by Congress to fill a vacancy). Gerald Ford was not Speaker of the House. He was the Republican Minority Leader at the time he was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Spiro Agnew. The Speaker of the House would become President if there were no Vice President who was willing and able to serve as President. If the Vice President resigns or dies, it can take time to appoint a new VP and to confirm him or her in Congress. If anything should happen to the President during this time, the Speaker would be next in line. Also, if some tragedy should occur that would take the lives of both the President and Vice President at the same time, the Speaker would take over. Please refer to the 25th amendment to the Constitution for details on how a New Vice President is appointed. (related link)
