There is no Vice-president in that case. That office remains vacant and the duties of the Vice-president to preside over the Senate is then handled by the President pro tempore of the Senate.
He is then allowed to appoint a Vice President.
The President appoints a new VP with Congress's approval. If the President and VP were to both die or leave office suddenly, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes president and a new VP is appointed. The order of presidential succession goes: President VP Speaker of the House President Pro-tempore of the Senate Cabinet (by order of when the positions were established)

There is no Vice-president in that case. That office remains vacant and the duties of the Vice-president to preside over the Senate is then handled by the President pro tempore of the Senate.
The Vice President.. If The VP dies then the next higher up rank takes his place
The VP becomes president whenever the president dies or resigns. If the president is temporarily unable to discharge his duties, the VP can temporarily be authorized to act as president.
The Speaker of The House Does
It may have been because he became President on acount of the assination of Abraham Lincoln. Therefore they never had a v.p. for him because he was the v.p. and vice pres dont have vice vice pres. after them. in the order there are many people after vice president choice.
Speaker of the house
The VP, and if he dies, the Speaker of the House
When the President dies and the Vice become President he then picks a new Vice, and the cycle continues. Vice -> Pres ---------------------------------------- No, that's not how it works. First off the two never travel together so they can't be killed at the same time, but if the president dies the vice precident takes over and does not appoint a vice. The position remains open. If the vice then dies the next in command takes over. That would be the secretary of state. ---------------------------------------- Actually, after the president dies, the vice president becomes president, and if he dies, then the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE becomes the new president........ ---------------------------------------- To add to the correction, the first paragraph above is correct. The second paragraph (the first correction) is very, very wrong. First of all, the President and VP could easily die at the same time. They could be assassinated at the same function, a nuclear attack could kill both, etc. Secondly, if the President dies, the VP becomes President and appoints a new VP, who then is confirmed by a majority of both houses of Congress. It is only if both the President and the VP die at the same time, or the President dies and then the VP who became President dies before he has appointed a new VP, that the Speaker of the House becomes President. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the last guy was right, the president pro tempore becomes president after the speaker of the house...comes secretary of state, treasury, defense, attorney general, secretary of interior, agriculture, commerce, labor....finally a couple of people later it ends with the secretary of homeland security...
