As the last i's are being dotted on President Trump's State of the Union address, one traditional formality has been announced: Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue is this year's "designated survivor." That means if disaster strikes during the speech, wiping out the entire presidential line of succession, the 71-year-old will be in charge of the country, reports USA Today. Perdue is expected to be hanging out with Secret Service agents at a secure location until the event is over, per Fox News. (More State of the Union address stories.)
