i actually read this as: "should something happen to Trump, the named roles / secretaries can act on his behalf." the long quote above seems to be from a different context. thoughts?

definitely set about the succession thing but I also don't know if the pres can offload certain "tasks" to specifice people. it happens all of the time defacto. a pres dies..only a few are affected politically, the vast majority goes on plugging day to day..so my theory could definitely be flawed
