Best Answer

The final choice is made by the electoral college, just as the choice for president is made. In every state, the vice presidential candidate appears on the ballot along with the presidential candidate; they run as a team.

This is a huge change from the original method in the Constitution, wherein the vice president was the presidential candidate with the second most votes.

Presidential candidates make the choice as to who they want to have as their vice-President. If the Presidential candidate wins, then that person becomes vice-President.

Who became vice-president when Lincoln died?

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.
