And those that set it off leave no trace.
Only for a few minutes, the Vice President immediately assumes the executive powers and is sworn in as President as soon as possible.

If he is also targeted and incapacitated then there is a set procedure used to see who becomes President, this is covered by the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.

As is the procedure if the President goes a bit loopy

There will always be a trail of evidence even after a nuke, even down to the residual isotopes left by the explosions will identify the original fissionable material and its point of origin
