If both the President and the Vice President died (which has never happened), the Speaker of the House would become the President of the United States. For example, if President Obama died, VP Joe Biden would take over as President. If then-President Joe Biden died, the Speaker of the House would take over as President.
Johnson was the vice president when Lincoln died and so succeeded to the presidency in accordance with the US Constitution.
