abstract
| - The Sierra prime ministerial line of succession is the official sequence of individuals entitled to hold the office of the Prime Minister of Sierra in the event that there is a vacancy in the office due to the incumbent's death, resignation, impeachment, or incapacity to serve. In the Sierran Constitution, Article IV, Section V states that in the event the Prime Minister is removed from office, dies, is impeached, or otherwise unable to fulfill the role of Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister should assume the power and office of the Prime Minister. In the event that both officials are unable to exercise the power of the office, the Constitution permits Parliament to pass any laws regarding the prime ministerial line of succession. The modern prime ministerial line of succession has since been codified and last updated through the Prime Ministerial Line of Succession Act of 1947.
