Under the Democrats, the person who is now third in line to succeed the President is a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan: Dems Set to Regain Power in Congress.

The Senate, as is typical, will get off to a slower start than the House, where rules and practice permit speedy debate and ensure tight majority power control over the agenda.
