Answer

The president...unless the president died as well. If both the

president and vice president were unable to hold office, then the

speaker of the house of representatives would take over as stated in

The President would still be the same person in office that was there before the VP died. However, a new VP would have to be elected.

A vice president dying has no effect on who would be president. The presidentwho was president before the VP died would remain president.

Answer 3

The death of the vice-president does not change the President. 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. The current president would remain president.
