In accordance with Amendment 25 of the United States Constitution, if the vice president dies, resigns or is otherwise removed, the President of the United States nominates his or her replacement. That person assumes the position of vice president after he or she has been confirmed by a majority vote by both houses of Congress.
If the President dies in office and the Vice President takes over the office of the President, the Speaker of the House does not automatically become the Vice President. Under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the new Vice President is nominated by the President. The new Vice President then takes office upon confirmation from both houses of Congress by a majority vote.
In this case, the lame duck vice-president would become president.
The vice president will become the president if that happens. Well, what happened when Lincoln was killed?
The Vice President, Joe Biden, is next in line for President.
