<P> In the United States, a designated survivor (or designated successor) is an individual in the presidential line of succession, usually a member of the United States Cabinet, who is arranged to be at a physically distant, secure, and undisclosed location when the President and the country's other top leaders (e.g., Vice President and Cabinet members) are gathered at a single location, such as during State of the Union addresses and presidential inaugurations . This is intended to guarantee continuity of government in the event of a catastrophic occurrence that kills the President and many officials in the presidential line of succession, such as a mass shooting, bombing or attack . If such an event occurred, killing both the President and Vice President, the surviving official highest in the line, possibly the designated survivor, would become the Acting President of the United States under the Presidential Succession Act . </P> <P> Only Cabinet members who are eligible to succeed to the presidency (i.e., natural - born citizens over the age of 35, who have resided in the United States for at least 14 years) can be chosen as designated survivors . The designated survivor is provided presidential - level security and transport for the duration of the event . An aide carries a nuclear football with them . However, they are not given a briefing on what to do in the event that the other successors to the presidency are killed . </P> <P> The practice of naming a designated survivor originated during the Cold War with its risk of nuclear attack . In 1947, the Presidential Succession Act established a clear line of succession for the president, but the idea of the designated survivor was part of an action plan to ensure that one of the potential successors is in a secure location . The only limitation was that the designated survivor must be constitutionally qualified to assume the office of president . </P>
