Yeah it's Harris >Pelosi >president pro tempore of the Senate, and so on down to the 18th in line which would be secy of homeland security.
No. That 's the order of succession in case of a loss of leadership outside of the 25th Amendment. If Biden is ousted Harris becomes President. She then appoints a new VP. That candidate needs to be confirmed by Congress. The Speaker of the House does not automatically become the next VP.
I was referring the order if the prez and the veep were not capable. Like dominoes.

Right. The order of succession. The 25th Amendment supersedes that. It describes the process by which a sitting President can be removed, who replaces that president (the VP), and how a replacement VP is determined.
