I'm working on the plans for a TL and am wondering over the details of the succession of the French President if the office-holder was killed or incapacitated.
US President succession is part of popular culture because the Americans have a President, Vice President, Senate President, House Speaker, Cabinet members etc... but France has no Vice President.
Would the Prime Minister become Acting President pending a hasty-arranged election, even if he was from a different party (as has been the case before), or is there someone else?
