Alexander Haig, the SoS, claimed control, although constitutionally that power would of course have gone to GHW Bush, the VP, and there was kind of a goat fuck while they sorted out who was in charge. With Trump his demise is likely to be less sudden, but we can be sure that while Vladimir Futon assumes his constitutional duties, the rest of the GOP leadership will immediately be all scorpions in a bottle because the MAGA cult won't transfer to Vance automatically.
