In the event, the president picks a new vice president who then must be approved by both houses of Congress before he can take office.
There is only one way to fill a vacancy in the vice-presidency as is specified in Amendment 25. The President selects a candidate and if both houses of Congress approve, he is the VP. Otherwise, the President makes another selection who must be approved. The process continues until Congress approves someone selected by the President.
The 25th amendment specifies that the President may appoint a Vice President to fill a vacancy in that office, subject to the approval of both houses of Congress.
Federal judges are appointed. The President nominates a candidate for a vacancy on the bench, and the Senate votes whether to approve or reject the nomination.
Amendment 25 gives a process for filling a vacancy in the office of vice president.What happens is that the new President names someone to fill the position and if both houses of Congress approve, he becomes vice president.
Prior to 1967, the Vice Presidency, once vacated remained empty until the next election. This occured 16 times, whenever the President or the vice-president died or resigned. After 1967 when the 25th amendment was ratified, a vacancy in the vice-presidency was soon filled.
38 of the 43 US Presidents were elected to the position; the other five (Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson, Arthur and Ford ) moved up to fill a vacancy after the president died or resigned and were never actuallly elected to be President. (Four others first took the office by moving up from vice-president, but were then elected to a term of their own.)
The vice-president becomes president if the presidency is vacated.
A president is not required to appoint any justices and may, in fact, not have an opportunity to do so. Justices serve for life, so presidents have to wait for a vacancy to arise through retirement or death.A president is not required to appoint any Supreme Court justices, unless there is a vacancy. The Supreme Court of the United States was created in 1789.

Tyler, Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, and Arthur were vice-presidents who moved up to President when the president died, leaving the post of vice president vacant. Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman and Lyndon Johnson all did the same thing, but they were later elected to a second term and so acquired a vice president . There is now a process in place for filling a vacancy in the vice-presidency.
The U.S. Constitution, Amendment XXV, Section 2 states, "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."
In the event of a vacancy in the presidency the vice president shall step in and perform the duties of the president. If the vice president is unable to hold this position then the next person in line would be the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
