The only problem with Barack is that he’s probably ineligible to be in the line of succession at all due to the terms of the 22nd Amendment.

The 22nd Amendment says “elected” not that they can’t rise to the office via succession.

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

They could have Obama serve as SOTH and be elevated to POTUS through the order of succession.
