The presidential nominee picks the vice presidential nominee, but it is officially chosen by vote of the convention delegates. In the past, some were chosen directly by the delegates, but not in recent years.

If the president is unable to serve, the vice president becomes president and the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes vice-president. The Speaker of the House is an elected congressman who is chosen by his party to be speaker.
Throughout most of U.S. history since the ratification of the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, each party selected its vice-presidential nominee by ballot at their national convention, like the way the presidential nominee is selected. Before 1804, each elector cast two votes for president, and whoever received the second-highest number of electoral votes became the Vice President. Since around 1968, presidential nominees have been selecting their own running mates (vice-presidential nominees), subject to party approval.
Prior to the ratification of the 25th Amendment in 1967, if the vice presidency became vacant due to the death, resignation or removal from office of the President or the Vice President, it remained vacant until the next Inauguration Day. Since 1967, if the President or Vice President dies, etc., the President (including a newly sworn-in former Vice President) nominates someone to fill the vacancy in the vice presidency. The nomination must be approved by a majority vote in both Houses of Congress. (The House Speaker does not become Vice President unless that is who the President chooses to nominate; the House Speaker, if qualified, automatically becomes President when both the presidency and the vice presidency are vacant, and he/she becomes Acting President when neither the presidential nor vice-presidential election results are known by Jan. 20.)

In the event of the death of the United States President who then becomes the Vice President?
Upon the death of a US President, the current Vice President is immediately sworn in as the US President. For example, when President Kennedy died in 1963, Vice President Johnson was sworn in as President aboard Air Force 1, the Presidential plane. This took place before it left Dallas, Texas, to take President Kennedy's body back to Washington, DC. Then, the President, in this case President Johnson, selects a person to be the next Vice President. That person is then confirmed by the United States Senate, by a majority vote, to become the Vice President. In 1963, Senator Hubert Humphrey was appointed by President Johnson to become Vice President.
