Nine U. S. Vice Presidents assumed the Presidency upon the death or resignation of the President:
John Tyler succeeded William Henry Harrison in 1841. There was doubt, and outright opposition to the idea, that Tyler was actually president. The wording of the constitution on the question of succession was a bit vague. It said that the vice president should, "act as president." There were many who held that that meant that the vice president could exercise the presidents powers but would not actually be president. Tyler thought otherwise and had the oath of office administered and asserted that he was, indeed, the president of United States. The difference beteween being president and merely acting as president was too small to matter so he got away with it but his enemies always referred to him as "His Accidency." Nonetheless, when Zachary Taylor died in 1850, no one questioned that Millard Fillmore became president.
Just to make everything perfectly clear though, the 25th amendment specifies exactly that if the president dies, or is removed from office, then the vice president does, in fact, become 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.
In 1825 the candidate with the greatest number of electoral votes would become president and the candidate with the next - highest number would become vice president.
