Senate, who is by tradition the most senior member of the majority party of the Senate, becomes President. If there is no Senate President Pro Tem at that time, or if he/she is unable, unwilling or not qualified to be President, the U. S. Secretary of State becomes President. If there is no Secretary of State at that time, or if he/she is unable, unwilling or not qualified to be President, the U. S. Treasury Secretary becomes President (if qualified, willing and able). Whoever becomes President appoints a Vice President after taking office. That person takes office after both houses of Congress approve the appointment.
