Clue to Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Nancy Pelosi's Second in Line to the Presidency

Glenn Thrush has this quote from Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz blasting Repubicans for their sexism:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who is close to Pelosi, could barely contain her anger.

"I think the place for a woman is at the top of the House of Representatives," said Wasserman Schultz.

"It's evidence they long for the days when a woman's place was in the kitchen. Now a woman is third in line for the presidency... But it's not surprising, coming from a party that's 80 percent male and 100 percent white," she added, referring to the composition of the House GOP conference.
Can someone get Wasserman Schultz a lifeline?

Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 makes the vice president first in line to the presidency should something happen to the president. Thus, the Speaker of the House is second in line to the president's office.
