Originally, from 1789 until 1800, there were not separate elections for President and Vice President. Each elector cast two votes, and whoever had the second-highest number of votes was the Vice President.
At first, the presidential candidate with the second most votes became vice-president. This method did not work, since the VP would be the opponent of the president, so the constitution was amended.
Before the 12th Amendment was added (1804), each elector cast two votes for President and the candidate with the second highest number of votes was made Vice President. Nowadays, they have separate balloting for President and Vice President. Both must still have a simple majority of the votes cast.
The Vice President is chosen before the President.

No times. The senate has never chosen the vice-president. In 1824 when no candidate for president got a majority, John C. Calhoun still won a majority of the electoral vote for vice-president.
When Lincoln was assassinated, Vice President Andrew Johnson became the new President. No new Vice President was chosen; the office was vacant until Ulysses Grant was elected President in 1868 and Schuyler Colfax became Vice President. This is why the Constitution was amended in 1967, with the 25th Amendment. It finally set rules for how a new Vice President is chosen when the sitting Vice President has to take over the Presidency.
