The Vice President automatically becomes the president. There is a process, in one of the recent amendments to the Constitution, for the appointment of a new Vice President.

Yes. The 25th Amendment makes that very clear:"In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall becomePresident." (emphasis added)This is in distinction to other officers in the line of succession who merely act as president.

Vice President
The president officer of the Senate who can vote only in the case of a tie is the Vice President of the United States. This role is defined in the U.S. Constitution, which grants the Vice President the authority to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate. In all other instances, the Vice President does not participate in Senate votes.
