There are quite a few people who actually approve the selection of a vice president. In a way the American population as a whole does.
The Senate approves the appointment of a new Vice President of the US.
The VP is elected with the President as a total ticket. Should a new VP be required the during the term of office the President can appoint someone to the office.
The vice-president is elected along with the president in the presidential elections held every four years.

No, the president selects the vice president. The vice president has to be on the same party as the president natural born citizen, resident of the U.S. for 14 years and 35 years old.
The electoral college.
The electoral college selects the president and the vice president, lucky them. :)
No, in the United States system the president selects his vice president. The Vice President is not determined seperately by vote.
The US Senate selects the vice-president if no candidate receives a majority of the electoral vote.
The President selects his own running mate.
The president nominates supreme court justices. (also "technically" the president selects the vice president "after" he is elected, so the president "sort-of" nominates the vice president too.) . Hope that helps.
The Chief of Staff is a position appointed by the President. If the elected President and Vice-President are unable to serve, the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes President and selects a Chief of Staff.
No. If a VP serves out his term, his replacement is elected by the people. If he resigns, the President nominates his replacement who must be approved by Congress.
In the office of the President of the United States, a running mate is the person that the candidate who receives the nomination selects to be their vice president.
Vice presidents are usually elected jointly as a running mate to the president. The electoral college elects the President and the President chooses the Vice President. a Presidential candidate selects "their" own V.P, but is nominated and elected by party convention
Upon the death of a US President, the current Vice President is immediately sworn in as the US President. For example, when President Kennedy died in 1963, Vice President Johnson was sworn in as President aboard Air Force 1, the Presidential plane. This took place before it left Dallas, Texas, to take President Kennedy's body back to Washington, DC. Then, the President, in this case President Johnson, selects a person to be the next Vice President. That person is then confirmed by the United States Senate, by a majority vote, to become the Vice President. In 1963, Senator Hubert Humphrey was appointed by President Johnson to become Vice President.
