I am adding another definition to succeed.

1. SUCK-ceed. That is when the person succeeding another in a position is the worst person that could have possibly nominated to do so, but who is still better than the alternative

> to come next after another in office or position or in possession of an estate; especially : to inherit sovereignty, rank, or title; to follow after another in order; to turn out well… See the full definition
