Sigh...

OK... let's walk your suggestion through.

The President resigns.

The Vice-President succeeds.

The Vice-President is now the President.

Now the NEW President is obliged by US Law...

to violate US Law.

So we enact your solution again...

The NEW President resigns...

This time the Speaker succeeds...

The Speaker is now the President.

Now THAT new President is obliged by US Law...

to violate US Law.

So we enact your solution again...

Do you see the problem yet?

Not really, eventually you run out of people to execute laws that can't be executed. Eventually the government becomes a laughing stock and folds.

Many people starve to death (among other things) in the ensuing confusion... Either you're very angry at the world, or you're just a troll.

Have you ever considered that in the last 15 years more people have died as a result of the actions of the US government than are prevented from starving to death by the US government?
